What goes up must come down, right? That’s an old adage we’ve heard many times throughout our lives. Well, the laws of physics behind this saying are a little bit more complicated to explain—and not all of them are completely understood. In this episode of Wondrium Perspectives, seven experts discuss what we know about gravity, as well as a few other strange laws that govern our universe. ------------------------------------------- Clips in this video are from the following series on Wondrium: Introduction to Astrophysics, presented by Joshua N.
