‘PBS Space Time’ Explores Whether Gravity Is an Illusion
PBS Space Time host Gabe Perez-Giz explores whether gravity is an illusion is a recent episode of the series. The explanation is a bit complicated, but makes a number of interesting points about frames of reference, acceleration, and even touches on general relativity.
