Symmes's Theory of Concentric Spheres (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the Earth's structure, challenging long-held beliefs about its form and challenging conventional scientific wisdom. The author takes the reader on a journey through various theories about the Earth's formation, from the ancient belief of a flat, stationary Earth to the more familiar concept of a spherical planet. The book then presents the theory of Captain Symmes, who argues that the Earth, and indeed all celestial bodies, are comprised of concentric spheres, each with an open polar region. This radical idea, the author argues, provides a more comprehensive explanation for a range of observed phenomena, including the migration of animals, the behavior of the compass, and the existence of volcanic activity. The author meticulously lays out Symmesââ â¢s theory, providing evidence and arguments derived from natural principles, celestial observations, and terrestrial facts. The book delves into the implications of concentric spheres for the distribution of heat and cold, the functioning of gravity, and the possibility of an inhabitable inner world. The authorââ â¢s engaging writing style and the bookââ â¢s exploration of controversial scientific ideas make for a captivating read. This book compels the reader to reconsider their understanding of the Earth and its place in the universe, revealing the ever-evolving nature of scientific inquiry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333606206_0
