Astronomy, Physics, and the Flight from Reason - How to Think Clearly Despite All the Nonsense (Paperback)

This is an interesting but controversial study. It questions some of the basic assumptions made in astronomy today, and it offers rival suggestions about the nature of space, light, and gravity. It invites readers to walk in a brave new universe where space has a definite shape, space drains into mass, and frame dragged space replaces event horizons around black holes. It offers a new universe that simply works better than the standard model, and it encourages readers to return to the realm of mainstream science better equipped to think critically and creatively about the available evidence. It tries to replace modern science myth with a version of scientific realism that is at least highly entertaining.
