A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this book is twofold :first, to present a revaluation of certain time-honored cosmological theories in the light of present-day knowledge; and, second, to mold and apply this knowledge in a way to raise astronomy as nearly as may be to the rank of an exact science. A mong the chief things I expect to prove are: That the theory of inertia! motions, far from being an aid, is a positive hindrance to the scientific development of the principle of universal gravitation. That all the activities of the universe, including planetary motions both of revolution and rotation, and planetary, solar, and stellar heat, are born of the moment, and are not the inheritance from a dead and mythical past. That were the earth conceived to be gently brought for a moment to complete rest, on being released it would not drop to the sun, but would gradually recover its interrupted movements. That were the sun this instant by liat chilled to zero, he would in the next, the fiat being lifted, immediately begin the generation of heat within himself until in a calculable period he would be radiating with the same intensity as now. That, in short, were the whole universe to doze oft for a time into a state of cold and comatose inaction, it would, on waking, by virtue of its inherent vitality, resume its suspended operations with only slight dislocation of its parts, and with a rapid return to its present swing and vigor. In other words, the universe is a perpetual automaton.
