This Erratic Planet is a book of vital importance to the future of
our species. Drawing on a staggering range of references across
disciplines including geology, astronomy, archaeology and
palaeontology, Ian Rankin outlines his radical ideas about the
worlds past. Contrary to conventional scientific thinking, the
evidence he has examined has convinced him that the history of our
planet is not one of gradual change, as proposed by Darwin's theory
of evolution, but a story of successive, yet systematic, global
catastrophes. These have wiped almost all trace of previous
civilisations from the face of the Earth. These catastrophes, known
as pole shifts, derive from the unstable nature of the solar
system, which is the subject of the book's second part. Ian Rankin
takes issue with Newton's Theory of Gravity, deeming it inadequate
to explain the unwavering motion of the planets over billions of
years. Instead, he proposes a New Theory, in which the Sun is not
the centre of the solar system, but is itself revolving around a
Magnetic Centre, a black hole - as yet undiscovered - whose
powerful magnetic pull opposes the constant push of the solar wind
to the outer reaches of the system. This Erratic Planet will
fascinate not only lovers of catastrophe theories, but also anyone
open-minded enough to entertain radical ideas about the nature of
the universe. Its ideas are so groundbreaking they deserve the
widest possible attention.
