Solaria Binaria by Alfred de Grazia and Earl Milton

Let’s think of the possibility of another history for the solar system, making it a short one, positing the Sun as one-time partner in a binary star system - this was the challenge that Earl Milton and Alfred de Grazia set to themselves when they got to work on Solaria Binaria. The dynamic model which they came up with is electromagnetic, non-gravitational, and requires only a million years for the life-time of the binary. Comparative and logical analysis argues not only a recent origin of the binary, but also the disruption of the binary beginning at a time when self-aware humans emerged. Hence, early myths and legends, and also fragments of ancient history are found to support expectations about the natural behavior of the binary system. The speed of astrophysical, geological, and biological processes is so great that a concept of rapid, sudden, comprehensive change is preferred - the concept of quantavolution.

^{Earl Milton and Alfred de Grazia met and worked together on Solaria Binaria in various places over five years, from 1978 to 1983. Starting in Washington DC in February, then in Princeton in Fall 1978, then for a two months stretch in May-June1980 on the island of Naxos, in Greece, in the company of Earl’s wife Joan and little son Davin, then 3 years old, where the bulk of the writing was done. There were more meetings in Princeton, and a longer stay of Al and Earl in a beach house facing the Ocean, belonging to Al’s brother Ed, in Rehoboth, Delaware, in November 1982, to get the book ready for publication. I was present on all these occasions. Our work in Rehoboth was interrupted by very loud hammering. Workmen had come to board up the beach houses for the winter... We had to make our presence known in extremis... Malcolm Lowery in London provided his editorial counsel and Rosemary Burnard, also in London, prepared the book for printing. Ami de Grazia}
