Towards a Unified Cosmology

Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd., London, first edition, 1960. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. 303 pp. From the blurb: "The universe in which we live has hitherto been subject to independent lines of study so Cosmology that we have the distinct disciplines of astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology and many others. In this book there is an approach from the prevailing fragmentation towards a measure of integration. More than thirty years ago Pro-fessor Kapp developed a theory of continuous origin and extinction of matter. As he compared this with other theories it appeared to him that his, which he called 'The Hypothesis of the Symmetrical Impermanence of Matter', was the only one that could stand up to the stringent tests of scientific method. He published little about his theory at the time, but over the years has seen that it can explain many phenomena that have hitherto baffled scientists. Among them are the origin and rotation of the spiral nebulae, stars and planets; gravitation; various terrestrial phenomena; the nature of elementary particles. Having a common basis the explanations found lead to a new and consistent view of the physical world. The author has taken care to avoid methods of presentation peculiar to any one branch of science and has thereby taken his theme out of any one specialized scientific discipline and made it accessible to the layman who is interested in science.
