NEBULA HYPOTHESIS.
One of the Most Interesting Prop
ositions of Science.
WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS.
That the Sun, Planets and All Matter
Were Onco a Vast Mass of Incan
descent Gas All Jumbled Together In
an Enormous Chaotic Cloud.
Everybody lias hoard the phrase, tho
nebula hypothesis, but what Is It?
In a few words this is the meaning
of "nebula hypothesis:" That the suu,
the planets ami all that is in them
were at oue time in tho inconceivably
remote past a vast mass of chaotic, in
candescent gas all jumbled tugi-ther lu
uii enormous nebula, or cloud.
To begin with, the first conception
that science has dared to make, how
ever, takes us one step further back
Without mentioning the origin of mat
ter Itself science conceives that in tho
beginuing nil matter was uniformly
distributed throughout space that
there were no stars, no planets, no
R.'itollites, but that all space was Oiled
with the matter we now have divided
up Into very fine particles some dis
tance apart. The consistency of such
material was perforce very thin In
deed, much more rarefied tliau the
highest vacuum wo can obtain now by
nir pumps. From this slate to 11m
nebulous Ktatc the theory lias a miss
ing link, one that can only be satisfied
by supposing divine command, for it
assumes, in the words of Professor
Todd, that "gradually centers of at
traction formed and these centers pull
ed lu townrd themselves other parti
cles. As n result of the inward fall
ing of matter toward these centers, the
collision of its particles aud their fric
tion upon each other the material
masses grew hotter nud hotter. Nebu
lae seeming to fill the entire heavens
were formed luminous lire mist, llko
the filmy objects still seen In the ky,
though vaster and exceedingly numer
ous." This process is supposed to
have gone on for countless ages, faster
in some regions than in others. Many
million nebulae were formed and set in
rotation around their own axes. This
happily can be explained by science.
Whenever particles are attracted to
ward a center and nre kept from fall
ing directly to this center a whirlpool
is formed, rotating in one direction.
An example of this, 1 hough humble
and not exactly antilogous, is the rota
tion of water in a basin when the stop
per is pulled out of tho bottom. Gravi
ty attracts tho water immediately
above Hie hole, which starts flowing
out, thus leaving a space to be filled.
The rest of the wnler rushes In from
all sides to do this, and the whirlpool
is the result.
Now each of those whirling nebulae
became exceedingly hot, and cacb
formed what Is known an a star or
sun, our sun being one. The earth
and oilier planets bad not then co mo
into separate existence, of course, as
it Is supposed ihat they were thrown
off later from the sun.
Our sun In its nebulous form and ro
tating swiftly on its axis gradually
llalleiied at its poles on account of
centrifugal motion. This phenomenon
Is entirely familiar to thoso who have
seen a ball of day on a potter's wheel
gradually flatten. The motion was so
swift and the mass so nebulous that
the sun to be took the shape of a disk.
As time went on the outer part be
came cool nml somewhat rigid, while
the inner part, continued Its cooling
and contracting. Thus the Inner part
drew away from the outer, leaving n
ring of mutter whirling around on the
outside. Tills breaking off of the ring
is supposed to be hastened by the In
ability of 'he outside to keep up the
swift motion of the renlrnl mass, both
on nccount of the slight cohesion and
of the centrifugal force. P.ut this par
ticular part of the argument has noth
ing to stand on If the first law of mo
tion Is true.
In the successive stages of the sun's
contraction this process was repealed
over nnd over again, until several
rings were whirling n round the central
orb. They would necessarily be in
tlie same plane. Now. these rings, not
being uniform la mass or thickness,
would each gradually accumulate to
ward the ileuses! portion until they,
too, would form a ball which would
subsequently flatten, and If the sub
stance continued nebulous nud the ball
was large enough they would also
slough rings.
Of course the rings l he sun discard
ed have become lite planets, which, as
required by the theory, are all very
nearly iu the same plane. The rings
that the planets formed have become
moons or satellites. So we are driven
to conclude that our sun at one time
filled all the space from his present
position to the fart lies! planet In the
solar system.
From this theory I hero Is another
thing that we have to believe, and that
Is that every star in t hit heavens has
gono through this same process and
has n family of planeis sailing around
it, just lis our sun has. it would be
Impossible to see these planets, of
course, for it Is impossible to see a
star, even with the greatest telescope,
except as a mere point of light.
As regards the proving of tills neb
ula hypothesis, of course It cannot be
done. Hut everything points to its ac
curacy. Many nebulae are wen even
now among the stars that seem to bo
going through the delayed process of
world forming. Around one of the
planets of our own solar system, Siu
urn, are three rings, which are proba
bly destined iu time to become moi.i.s,
in !ho opinion of some scholars. A. J.
