About This Book
A technical critique of contemporary astronomy evaluates observational instruments and measurement methods, questions experiments used to infer terrestrial density, and challenges the application of the spherical shell attraction result. It argues that the Moon lacks an independent axial rotation and considers centrifugal effects on lunar air and water, examines several cosmogonies including nebular and impact models, and analyzes how rings could separate and condense into planets and satellites. The text presents calculations on densities, temperatures tending toward absolute zero, ring dimensions, and satellite masses, offering alternative interpretations of planetary formation, retrograde motion, and the likely fate of rings and satellites.
