; STOCKHOLM. Dec. :t0. "The sun can
keep on shining at the present rate for
1 another 8000000000© years and if hu-
man culture is to perish it will not he
for lack of sunshine.” This startling
n"d whimsical statement was made in
the course of n recent lecture by Dr.
Svante Arrhenius the Swedish authori-
ty on astrophysics in which he ex*
plained certain theories and discover-
ies regarding solar conditions.
"Suppose the sun were a mass of
coal.” said Dr. Arrhenius in order to
illustrate his problem. "Giving forth
heat energy at the present rate it
would then have lasted only 4.000 years
or al»out half as long as the period of
known human history. But since there
were living things of some kind on
earth at least 1.000000.000 years ago.
and since there has evidenth been very
little sun during that period of time
any theory of the expenditure of nolat
e~ergy must provide for upwards of
I one hundred billion years.”
. Though it i' difficult to interpret Dr
' Arrhenius in popular language it ma\
he of interest to state his general
^ theory. Heavenly bodies Lejjin as colJ
1
I nebulous masse* of hydrogen helium 1
anil the <n railed nebulium. Light then
j arises through radioactivity. The hy-
i drogcn is condensed to form the othei
two elements. helium and nchuhum
anil from these develop a whole aerie- j
of heavier elements the most abundant i
of which is iron. After th• s stage ha-
been passed the radioactivity elements
j again resolve themselves into unstable j
elements and produce helium. This
chemical process going on in cycles
accounts for the lavish production of
light nnd heat by the sun.
V\ hat becomes of dead suns and stars?
Hr. Arrhenius replied to this question
that celestial bodies which have burn-
ed out may flame up again in case
they happen to wander into nebulous
regions where condensation and pro-
dustion of heat again takes place. Thus
he explained the discoveries of new
stars which are frequently announced
by astronomers.
Pr. Arrhenius paid a tribute to the
successful work of American n «roro-
mers. remarking wistfully that in ad-
dition brigh» skies they are also f.„ j
vored by ample funds for
experiment.
