La gravedad, una fuerza fundamental de la naturaleza, da forma a todo el universo, esculpe galaxias y deforma el espacio y el tiempo, pero también afecta a nuestra vida diaria de las maneras más inesperadas. El professor Jim Al-Khalili recrea experimentos revolucionarios como el de Galileo, que fue el primero en idear un modo de medirla, investiga el descubrimiento de las ondas gravitacionales y revela, de mano de los astronautas, cómo es vivir sin gravedad. Pero la gravedad también nos afecta directamente a nosotros, modificando nuestro peso, altura, postura y hasta el ritmo al que envejecemos.
