This milestone work describes how the elemental force of gravity helps to shape the geometry of space and time. And some of its predictions — involving phenomena like the dilation of time, the motion of bodies in free fall and the gravitational bending of light — are mind-bendingly different than those of classical physics.

The wise queen, however she might seem to have a fair opportunity offered to her suit, finds it not good to apprehend it too suddenly; as desiring by this small dilation to prepare the ear and heart of the king for so important a request
