About This Book

The author examines the origin and transmission of solar energy, surveying solar structure, sunspots, auroras, and planetary electrical interactions before arguing that the primary source lies in the potential energy of space rather than within the sun. He develops an electrical interpretation of comets, meteors, and temporary stars, analyzes stellar and nebular phenomena including spiral and gaseous nebulae, and critiques the nebular hypothesis while proposing mechanisms for the development of solar systems and galaxies from diffuse matter. The study closes with a comparative consideration of scriptural cosmogony and an appeal to the harmony of natural laws.
