Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a revolutionary challenge to the widely accepted scientific doctrine of the Conservation of Energy. The author argues that the doctrine contradicts one of its own tenets, that gravity is continuously generated, and thus some other term in its equation must be continually lost or compensated. The author examines the work of the great physicists and other scientists, including Balfour Stewart, Mayer, and Tyndall, who have studied the subject. The author then proposes a radical reinterpretation of the doctrine based on the idea that gravity is both a centripetal and centrifugal force, acting in conjunction to produce the motions of the planets in their orbits. The author thus claims that the doctrine of the Conservation of Energy can only be upheld by modifying it to state that not energy, but force is indestructible. This book will be of great interest to anyone with an interest in the history and philosophy of science, as well as to students of physics and astronomy.
