Excerpt from A New Philosophy of the Sun: A Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Society of History and Natural ScienceThe identity of constitution of the celestial spheres is daily becoming more firmly established as a fundamental principle in philosophy. Dr. M. Meyer recently said before a body of distinguished scientists in Berlin: The sun is composed of the same materials as the earth. The distant fixed stars are of a composition identical with that of the sun. The uni formity of nature's laws and the similarity of the materials composing the universe are a sufficient proof that there must be organizations similar to that of our system all over the universe. He also said: We must conclude that the earth is inhabited by a small family which forms part of the great nation that peoples the universe. M. Faye says Nothing really distinguishes our sun from the multitude of stars which shine in the heavens. Helmholtz says What the earth does is done by all the other spheres and in a higher degree by the sun. There are no known facts which disprove such identity of constitution of all worlds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
