This book reexamines the longstanding assumption that light diminishes with distance (the Inverse Squares Law) and that the solar system is unequally illuminated by the sun. The author argues that these widely held beliefs are based on misunderstandings and flawed logic and lays out a compelling case for the equal distribution of solar light throughout the system. The author traces the history of these misconceptions, showing how they have persisted despite evidence to the contrary. He provides a detailed analysis of the Inverse Squares Law and its implications, demonstrating its impossibility and the errors inherent in its theory. The book also explores the broader implications of these discoveries, arguing that they challenge our understanding of light and its interaction with the universe. Ultimately, this book offers a provocative challenge to conventional wisdom in optics and astronomy, inviting readers to rethink their assumptions and consider the possibility of a more evenly illuminated and interconnected solar system.

Excerpt from A Treatise, in Popular Language, on the Solar Illumination of the Solar System: Or, the Law and Theory of the Inverse Squares; Being an Analysis of the Two Received Laws Relating to the Diminution of Light by Distance Wherein Its Is Shown That, According to Undisputed Facts of Nature and of Science, the Solar Illumination Is Equal Th

Having endeavoured, in short statements, without success, for nearly five-and-twenty years, to induce professional men to study the subject in Physical Optics here mainly treated of, viz., the Theory and Law of the Inverse Squares, and the Illumination of the Solar System by the Sun, I now propose to lay the facts more in detail before a more extended class of readers, - before the scientific who, not being Professors, may therefore have more time to attend to what is new, and before the more thoughtful of the community, even though these may hitherto have made no special scientific studies. In the interests of this latter class of readers, every statement here made will be found entirely divested of Technicalities, - those Technicalities which, however useful as stenography for Professors among themselves, I cannot but regard as the closed doors of Science, by which public discussion is consciously and carefully excluded, and by which, no doubt most unconsciously, scientific progress is impeded, as all progress is, and must be, in the dark corners of Monopoly and Protection.
