VOLUME 2 OF THE COPERNICAN SERIES

The mass/gravity concept is a colossal blunder with incalculable consequences. When Newton's use of size to prove his hypothesis that there was an inverse square law associated with planetary motion failed verification, consensual science declined to discard the hypothesis, opting instead to save the appearance of the inverse square law in reality by forcing the equations dealing with planetary motion to balance to the inverse square hypothesis by replacing size with the non measurable variable of density. By using a non verifiable variable to save the inverse square law's appearance, the inverse square hypothesis became disprovable, the measure of a successful theory in consensual science.

WHAT IS LIFE?

The blind belief in the mass/gravity concept has led to an unimaginable expenditure of resources in search of additional facts to save the appearance of Newton's failed hypothesis, black holes in space, dark matter, synesthesial quarks, the sea serpents and daemons on the edge of modern medieval maps.

HOW DOES IT FORM?

But by far the most devastating result of the mass/gravity blunder is in the conceptual blindness that it creates, a blindness that has hindered, and in some cases, eliminated technological progress, and precludes comprehension by obscuring attempts to construct a consistent picture of physical reality.

HOW DO SPECIES EVOLVE?

THE COOLING CONTINUUM takes Chapter Eight, The Expanding Sphere: The Attractive Force, from the author's ATOMS, STARS AND MINDS: SYNTHESIZING AN ELEMENTARY PARTICLE THAT COMPREHENDS ITSELF, which defines weight as a product of the expanding electromagnetic spectrum, and shows how the lessening field of attraction that is the product of the Earth's cooling process has resulted in the rise and fall of species, including dinosaurs, whose massive bones did not hold massive amounts of flesh, but rather normal amounts of flesh that just weighed more.
