A few years ago, I came upon the book Gravitation: Master Key to the Universe. I am by no means an expert on the subject but I found the topic intriguing. In this first work, the author defines his Havel's Law of Gravitation. This is a theory unlike any other current gravitation theory as does not build upon conventional concepts set out by Newton and Einstein. Instead, the author takes a fresh look at an old issue.
The results are astounding. Not only are these unique concepts based upon good scientific practice but they are also well grounded in common sense. I highly suggest that the reader seek this first book before picking up a copy of N-Body Gravitational Problem: Unrestricted Solution. After reading the initial text, the reader will have a good foundational understanding of how vacuons are propelled at the atomic level creating the attracting phenomena of gravitation and how this notion differs substantially from the previous limited label of gravitation as a force between objects.
Whereas in Gravitation: Master Key to the Universe the author sets out his basic theory; N-Body Gravitational Problem: Unrestricted Solution looks at the actually workings of gravitation in a variety of differing circumstances. The first portion of this second book analyses how bodies actually react under the affects of gravitation. In this, the author is very thorough. His explorations do not simple reflect the findings of a single body being influenced by gravitation but also reflect various scenarios where the bodies vary in size or are being reacted upon by multiple gravitational carriers.
After methodically setting out all of the potential influences and creating a model, the second part of this book seeks to create a working set of formulas for any number of bodies. Although quite heady material, all of these calculations are intuitively presented with plenty of figures to illustrate each situation. The author is meticulous when it comes to defining and presenting each step so that his work can easily be understood and then replicated by the reader. In all cases, the work is well thought out and scientifically presented.
