DIR CRoLL calculates that two bodies
each one-half the mass OF the sun, NOV
ing directly towards each other. with
velocity Of 476 miles per second, would
Ivy their conclusion. generate in asingle
moment 100000 years heat of that
now given forth by the sun He con
tinues 1T must be borne III mind that
the 47G miles per second is the velocity
ut the moment Of collision. But more
than one-half Of this velocity, or pa
miles per second, would be derived from
their mutual attraction as they ap-
preached each other. We have, conse.
quently, to assume an original or pre-
jeeted velocity Of only 2o2 miles per
second If the original velocity was G7s
miles per second, this, with the PA de
rived from gravity, would generate an
amount Of heat which would sntlice FIR
100000, 900 years. And if We assume the
original velocity to have been loo
miles per second, an amount Of heat
would he generated in single moment
which would suffice for no less thar
S00,O00,000 years.
