Bros carefully and logically takes apart some of science's most sacred beliefs. A totally new, and far more logical approach, to evolutionary issues and some basic physics issues.

Sure to trouble those who have been brainwashed by scientific academia.

This allegedly factual book is almost as far out as the science fiction novel "Newton's Cannon: Book One in the Age of Unreason", which is actually pretty good fiction. "Newton's Cannon" presents a fictional world in which Newton's thirty years of carefully investigating the claims of alchemy actually led him to discover the philosopher's stone and demonstrate the transmutation of metals, instead of laying the foundations of modern mechanical philosophy as he did in our world. "The Cooling Continuum" presents a similarly fictional world, in which Newton's (and Hooke's, to some extent) inverse-square law of gravitational attraction is not true. But "The Cooling Continuum"--apparently in complete seriousness--puts forward the claim that the world it describes is actually the one we live in.

In my opinion, Peter Bros is serving donuts on another planet, and quite possibly in a dimension orthogonal to ours.

Good grief!

The reviewer below needs to get over it: Newton was wrong and Bros shows why. The negative reviews I've seen of this and other books from Bros are all the same--simple emotional attacks based on the reviewer's disagreement with Bros, but none of the reviewers can explain logically how or why Bros is wrong.

I don't agree with everything Bros says, and in some of his theories he is clearly engaging in speculation, but his attacks on mainstream science are 100% accurate.

If you are truly intelligent and capable of truly logical thought you will enjoy this book even if you disagree with parts of it. It is so rare to read a book from someone so committed to logical thought that it is a huge surprise and an immense pleasure.
