I don't know the original books they published, but this is a brief overview http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/~jochen/gtech201/lectures/lec6concepts/datums/determining%20the%20earths%20size.htm I have not heard the theory include that the sun was not massive in size. That would indicate that it's not a nuclear fusion reaction spanning millions of years to me. Maybe it just a big heat lamp and we're all part of some higher dimensional experiment. Hmm
