D4K: Gravity

Special | 28m 49s

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It is what makes things fall and what keeps us from floating off into space. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature. Is gravity the same everywhere in the universe? Host Joan Cartan-Hansen and four Boise State University Engineering students Jake Forsberg, Pamila Ward, Alex Miller, and Brian Pieree answer students’ questions about Gravity.
