by J. Wilenchik

Overview
Based on the lost theories of Isaac Newton and Lord Kelvin, "Atoms All the Way Down" explores an alternative theory to the "Big Bang" in which galaxies are "atoms" and stars are "light." The book offers explanations for everything from spiral galaxies to black holes, galaxy "jets," the "cosmic web" (galaxy superstructure), and the relationship in between mass and color in the "main sequence" of stars.

About the author
Jack Wilenchik is a practicing trial attorney and the author of such memorable legal works as "Defendant's Motion in Limine No. 4" and "Joint Report and Proposed Scheduling Order." Law and physics have much in common: Isaac Newton actually finished his career as a prosecutor, and Albert Einstein started his own career as a legal patent clerk. There is a simple reason for this: inventing new theories about light doesn't actually keep the lights on.
