'''''Proceedings of the CNPS''''' (also published under titles such as ''CNPS Proceedings 2017'' and ''CNPS 2019 Proceedings'') is the annual proceedings series of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]] (CNPS). Each volume collects the papers presented at that year's CNPS conference — work challenging mainstream physics and cosmology, especially [[relativity]], the [[aether]], gravitation, and cosmology.

==History==

The series is the direct successor to the ''[[Proceedings of the NPA|Proceedings of the Natural Philosophy Alliance]]''. After the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) was reorganized as the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society — named in memory of the NPA's founder, John Chappell — its annual proceedings continued under the CNPS name from 2015 onward. The volumes are edited by [[David de Hilster]] and produced as print-on-demand books through Lulu, available from Amazon and other booksellers.

Known volumes include:

* '''CNPS Proceedings 2015''' — ed. David de Hilster
* '''CNPS Proceedings 2016'''
* '''CNPS Proceedings 2017''' — ISBN 978-1-387-06289-8
* '''CNPS 2018 Proceedings''' — ISBN 978-1-387-86572-7
* '''CNPS 2019 Proceedings''' — ISBN 978-0-359-71534-3
* (subsequent annual volumes)

==Scope==

Like its NPA predecessor, the CNPS proceedings accept papers that dispute accepted theory in physics and cosmology and that propose alternative models. The CNPS uses "natural philosophy" in its broad sense, encompassing physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science.
