The main focus of this book is on the interconnection of two
unorthodox scientific ideas, the varying-gravity hypothesis and the
expanding-earth hypothesis. As such, it provides a fascinating
insight into a nearly forgotten chapter in both the history of
cosmology and the history of the earth sciences. The hypothesis
that the force of gravity decreases over cosmic time was first
proposed by Paul Dirac in 1937. In this book the author examines in
detail the historical development of Dirac's hypothesis and its
consequences for the structure and history of the earth, the most
important of which was that the earth must have been smaller in the
past.
