Gravitation

The interaction responsible for the reciprocal attraction of massive bodies. General relativity currently stands as the best description of gravitation. The universal law of attraction, elaborated by Isaac Newton at the end of the 17th century, is an excellent approximation in everyday life. At microscopic scales, gravitation is the weakest of the four fundamental interactions and has a negligible impact.
