Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe

Dark Matter Missing Planets and New Comets: Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated

by Tom Van Flandern

Dark Matter Missing Planets and New Comets: Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Tom Van Flandern's book adds a new dimension to cosmology--not only does it present a novel approach to timeless issues, it stands up to the closest scientific scrutiny. Even the most respected scientists today will readily admit that the Big Bang Theory is full of holes. But it takes a new look, like Dark Matter, Missing Planets, and New Comets, to explain not only why the theory is wrong but what to substitute in its place. If you are curious about such things as the nature of matter and the origin of the solar system, but feel inadequately equipped to grasp what modern science has to say about such things, read this book. You will not get the all too common condescending attempt to water down the mysteries' of modern science into a form intelligible to little non scientist you, but rather a straightforward new theory, logically derived in front of your eyes, which challenges the roots of many of today's complex accepted paradigms, yet whose essence is simple enough to be thoroughly communicated to the intelligent layman without losing it in the translation.
