Reinventing Gravity: A Physicist Goes Beyond Einstein

A bold revision of one of the most successful theories of all time: Einsteins general theory of relativity. Physicists have long known that something is wrong with gravity. Einsteins relativity and the theory of quantum mechanics are fundamentally incompatible which has prompted the last 30 years of work in string theory and quantum gravity. However John Moffat has identified a bigger problem: not only does Einsteins theory not work in the world of the very small; it does not seem to work in the world of the very large either. Moffat has developed a modified theory of gravity or MOG that can explain the behaviour of our universe as well as Einsteins without resorting to dubious yet long-claimed excuse for the existence of invisible "dark matter. As John Barrow of the University of Cambridge asserts the simplicity of Moffats model demands that physicists take this daring new theory seriously. Now for the first time "Reinventing Gravity" introduces general readers to Moffats groundbreaking new ideas about the universe.
