Astronomy on Trial systematically and convincingly argues against every aspect of the theory behind the idea of the Big Bang. Using a readable style that incorporates the laws of physics Roy C. Martin exposes the impossibilities that have been so commonly manipulated to support the Big Bang theory. He carefully explains the absurdities that have come to represent modern day cosmology and highenergy physics that have arisen from the groupthink phenomenon. Martin reveals this groupthink as the tendency of scientists to fit the astronomical observational data that flow into context within the standard theories already established by the community of cosmologists. The authors witty pointbypoint exposition of the impossibility of the Big Bang not only provides insights into this one situation but reveals a troubling trend of a lack of skepticism in scientific research in general that calls for a reevaluation of conclusions in all other fields of science.
