What reading level is The Earth Stands Fast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Dr. Schoepffer pointed out, this is what we find in the case of the moon, whose attracting centre is the earth. His argument is now notably emphasized by the con- clusion of Schiaparelli, Lowell and others, attesting the like phenomena in the orbital revolutions of Mercury and Venus about the sun. Thus if the Moon, Venus and Mercury conform in this particular to the theory that all the atoms of each are attracted by all the atoms of sun and earth, then it is certain that the axial rotation o...f the earth and of the superior planets is in direct violation to Newtonian theory. IX. A special point should be made of the fact that Newton's postulate contradicts observed phenomena, unless we agree to think of the attracting force of each body as acting as if concentrated at its centre ; while (i) the very terms of the hypothesis of universal attraction make this assumption a confessed fiction, so that (2) the physical explanation of axial rotation on this basis is absolutely fraudulent. The first of these propositions we may state thus : either the hypothesis, that every atom in the universe attracts every other atom, is true, in which case it cannot be mathematically correct to consider the attracting power of spherical masses containing many atoms 53 as if concentrated in one atom at their centre ; or, if the last proposition is mathematically correct, then every atom in the universe does not attract every other atom, and the entire structure of Newtonian philosophy falls to the ground.
