The hypothesis that the force of gravity decreases over cosmic time was first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1937. In this book the author examines in detail the historical development of Dirac¿s hypothesis and its consequences for the structure and history of the earth, the most important of which was that the earth must have been smaller in the past.

Demonstrates the close and fascinating connection between the earth sciences and cosmological theory as seen in parts of the twentieth century
Details from a historical perspective the hypothesis that gravitational force varies in time, an alternative to Einstein's theory of general relativity
Presents for the first time a full history of the varying-gravity hypothesis, integrating aspects of cosmology, geology and astronomy
Discusses the broader philosophical significance of the development of the varying-gravity hypothesis
