Solaria Binaria: Origins and History of the Solar System is a 1984 book by Alfred de Grazia and the physicist Earl R Milton, published by Metron Publications.
Overview
The book proposes a radically short and electrically driven history for the Solar System. In the authors' model, the Sun was once one partner of a binary star system — its companion named "Uranus Major" — that formed roughly a million years ago from a fissioning "Super Sun." The dynamics they invoke are electromagnetic and non-gravitational, and they argue that the binary was disrupted comparatively recently, at about the time self-aware humans emerged. The work belongs to the catastrophist / "quantavolution" tradition of Immanuel Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval), which the authors recommend as further reading, and anticipates themes of the later Electric Universe movement.
About the authors
Alfred de Grazia (1919–2014) was an American political scientist and writer who became a leading proponent of Velikovskian catastrophism ("quantavolution"). Earl R. Milton (1935–1999) was a Canadian physicist at the University of Lethbridge and de Grazia's scientific collaborator on the Solaria Binaria model.
