What is Gravity?
 
All of us know the effects of the mysterious force called gravity. However, the question 'what is gravity' is not easy to answer at all. The reason is that we don't really understand what this force actually is (if it is a force at all). This non-technical article answers the question up to the current well-proven classical understanding of the physics behind gravity.  It deals with the evolution of classical gravity theory by Kepler, Newton and Einstein, but stops short of the current developments in quantum gravity.
