About this Item

Print on Demand. This book critically examines the principles of Newtonian cosmology and astronomy, arguing for a paradigm shift that incorporates both the principles of universal gravitation and the gravitational influence of stars beyond our solar system. The author challenges prevailing theories on the origin of celestial motions, the source of the Sun's heat, the nature of comets, tides, and the individual characteristics of planets. It presents a revised understanding of stellar problems and questions the conventional view on the destiny of the universe. By addressing these astronomical mysteries, the book provides a profound critique of modern astronomical science, promoting a fresh perspective and opening new pathways for scientific exploration. Its bold insights challenge the status quo and offer a transformative understanding of the universe. 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.

About this title

Synopsis

Like that of Newton, my system is founded upon the great underlying principle of universal gravitation ;but it improves upon his by taking into account the hitherto unexploited factor of the joint attraction of the stars and its dynamical influence upon the domestic relations of our solar family. During the two centuries which have elapsed since the publication ofT heP rincipia many important astronomical facts have come to light, for example; the journey of the sun in space, the proper motions of stars, the enormous age of the earth, the anomalous acceleration of the moon, the existence of nebulae, etc., whose successful incorporation into gravitational astronomy demands, not adaptation merely, but radical reconstruction. Astronomers in general appear to have lulled themselves into the comforting belief that the paramount problems of astronomy have been successfully disposed of, and that little remains to be done save detail work, such as, the classifying of star spectra, keeping tab on the variable stars, computing asteroidal orbits, and the like, a romance which popular writers on astronomy have long been busily disseminating among their lay readers.
