186245927Uppsala C.A. Leffler 1862. 4to. Later blank boards. Uncut. Offprint from "Nova Acta Reg.Soc. Sc. Ups.". 10 pp. and 1 folded plate. <br/><br/><em>First edition. In this paper Ångström deduces the mean period of Halley's Comet by a statistical approach. From his analysis he discovered that the average time between perihelions was 76.93 years and found that thsi period varied in a cyclical manner.Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy; he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism the conduction of heat and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis. </em> hardcover

147 pages including index. Prehistoric dates and more dates have been computed to provide admissibility for the mythic history of Homo sapiens in a framework of recorded mythological events, as well as the arrival of a planetoid which triggered the last Ice Age and the Flood, its hypothetical crash in northeastern Canada that brought forth Halley's comet. Atlantis and Mu are refurbished, and the existence of ancient 'atomic piles' in some pyramids of Egypt proclaimed by the author. In all, a think-piece that challenges the imagination of every reader of this controversial thesis! Includes occasional black and white illustrations. Minor rubbing to top corner of front cover.
