S FROM NEBULA TO NEBULA 



ing, I invite his attention to the subjoined syllabus of 

 contrasts between the teachings of current science on 

 the one hand, in roman, and my own views, in italic, on 

 the other. 



CURRENT AND PROPOSED THEORY CONTRASTED 



The original supply of energy in the universe can 

 neither be increased nor diminished. It is rapidly be- 

 ing converted from available into useless energy by the 

 wasting of heat into space, and by the gradual agglom- 

 eration of matter into fewer and fewer bodies of larger 

 and larger mass. 



On the contrary, this energy is on the in- 

 crease, for GRAVITATION is FRESHLY EVOLVED 

 EVERY INSTANT, and is consequently continually 

 adding new increments to the aggregate of force. 

 Besides, the plain laic of gravitation is that the 

 nearer particles of matter approach each other 

 the stronger their mutual attraction becomes, 

 hence agglomeration means increase of energy. 



Planetary motions of revolution and rotation are 

 the reactions of unknown and nngnessed causes that 

 existed tens of millions of years ago, and which then 

 ceased to act. 



On the contrary, all these motion* arc 



the effects OF CURRENT, PRESENT-DAY CAUSES 



IN CONTINUOUS OPERATION. 



The sun is shooting through space, but the fact has 

 no further significance. 



The sun is FALLING through space, and it 

 is the impetus of this foil, irhich /* gravita- 

 tional, combined icith the centripetal attrac- 

 tion of the sun, that produces the gyratory mo- 

 tion of the planets.
