A number of important celestial phenomena are presently misinterpreted in Astronomy. These include dark matter, dark energy, Black Holes, the Big Bang and the origin of solar systems. This is an impressive list of misinterpretations which can all be shown to arise from either neglecting laws of physics or their incorrect usage. "Forensic Astronomy" will provide you with alternative explanations which are simple, straightforward and follow a logical order. In fact, the aim of this book is multifaceted. Here is an overview of its main goals: To educate the public on some of the more recent solar and planetary developments. To show that the universe underwent a large variety of processes, prior to the development of mankind. All developments presumably required a sequence of multiple, complex, evolutionary steps, which were well-timed and executed. Similar solar system developments are presumably in progress throughout our galaxy and very likely, throughout our visible universe, at various evolutionary stages. To discuss mankind's place in the Universe. To rectify some of the (erroneous) baffling concepts and theories that have unfortunately crept their way into astronomy. To point out the most critically neglected concepts of physics : the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the conservation of angular momentum, and the fact that all matter in the universe is not necessarily electrically neutral.
