Kings Dethroned - A History of the Evolution of Astronomy from the Time of the Roman Empire up to the Present Day: Showing it to be an Amazing Series of Blunders Founded Upon an Error Made in the Second Century

Debunking scientific theories with alternative hypotheses, this intriguing examination of the development of astronomy offers non-traditional approaches to history, from Ancient Rome through to the early twentieth century.

Gerrard Hickson challenges widely accepted scientific principles with his own alternative theories, aiming to expose what he perceives as fundamental errors in the field of astronomy. Tracking the progress of astronomical thought from Nicolaus Copernicus to Albert Einstein, Hickson critiques the contributions of renowned figures, arguing that their groundbreaking discoveries are built upon flawed foundations.

Beginning with a bold assertion that the commonly accepted distance from Earth to the sun—93 million miles—is incorrect, Hickson suggests that this purported error has led to a cascade of misunderstandings in our understanding of the cosmos. In the final chapters, he takes aim at Einstein’s theories, particularly the Theory of Relativity, attempting to disprove them with his own evidence and logic.

First published in 1922, Kings Dethroned is an intriguing read for those interested in alternative perspectives on astronomy and unorthodox theories on scientific history.
