This book attempts to explain to the reader that materialism as a science or as a philosophy is out of date, and it provides both layman and expert with a completely new basis for thought and further enquiry.
Although quoting from the works of many eminent scientists, the author has reached unorthodox and startling conclusions. Instead of accepting the hypothesis of a gravitational universe, he substitutes a vortical explanation which accounts more satisfactorily for the mysteries of the universe than the more commonly accepted postulate which has held the field for so long.

First Sentence

"The theory of gravitational mass attraction is the very foundation on which in modern times the philosophy of materialism, has been built. ............... The expression 'gravitational attraction' does not register a scientific discovery, although it has been hailed by scientists as such. It is only a description not an explanation."
