The monograph argues, from a young-earth creationist standpoint, that the '''Poynting–Robertson effect''' — the drag by which solar radiation causes small interplanetary dust particles to spiral into the Sun — should have swept the inner Solar System clear of such dust in far less time than the standard age of about 4.6 billion years.

The Age of the Solar System (ICR Technical Monograph No. 6) is a monograph by Harold S Slusher, with Stephen J. Robertson and Stephen J. Duursma, published by the Institute for Creation Research.
Overview
The monograph argues, from a young-earth creationist standpoint, that the Poynting–Robertson effect — the drag by which solar radiation causes small interplanetary dust particles to spiral into the Sun — should have swept the inner Solar System clear of such dust in far less time than the standard age of about 4.6 billion years. The continued presence of interplanetary dust is presented as evidence for a young Solar System. (Mainstream astronomers hold that the dust is continually replenished by comets and asteroid collisions, so its presence sets no such limit.)
About the author
Harold Schultz Slusher was an American physicist and geophysicist associated with the Institute for Creation Research, and author of several of its technical monographs. See also his The Age of the Earth (ICR Technical Monograph, No. 7).
