Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the long-held theory in astronomy of universal gravitation, arguing that the motion of the heavenly bodies is not primarily caused by gravitational attraction. Drawing on meticulous observations and calculations, the author demonstrates that the phenomena attributed to gravity, such as the tides and the precession of the equinoxes, can be explained by forces generated by the rotation of the Earth itself. This work calls for a re-examination of fundamental assumptions in astronomy, offering a compelling alternative explanation for the motion of celestial bodies.
