BOUNDING THE INFINITE.
Are the Number Of Stars In Space
Without Limit?

Are the Number Of Stars In Space
Without Limit?
How many stars are there? 1t IS not
known. but. most astronomers believe
the number is not unlimited The ar
gument is that with an Infinite uni
verse of stars the heavens would be
one uniform blaze of light The more
distant stars are, Of course, DINNER;
some are too far away TO aHect the
naked eve at all, but no matter how
slight the units an infinite number of
them would produce the effect de-
scribed.
AS there is no uniformly blazing sky,
the number of stars, though possibly
immensely great, must be limited.
This argument is supplemented in a
/ recent astronomical paper by similar
one drawn from gravitatiOn. Every
star no matter how distant. exercises
it's own power of attraction on every
other heavenly body, including our
earth.
However. as the earth's center is
farther away from the attracting body
than it's surface is, particles on the
earths surface are attracted with
greater force than those at the center,
and the practical result is to lessen the
force with which the earth's mass Is
held together
Now, if the number of stars is inf
| mite, this decrease would be SO great
that weight on the earth would practi-
callv cease to exist Moreover, the
same conditions would prevail every
! where throughout a bOundless universe
and probably all masses would be dis
ruDted. That this result does not oc-
cur is a proof. we are told. that the
number of heavenly bodies in exist
| ence is not infinite.
These arguments make certain as
| sumptions that may or may not be
granted: they can neither be proved nor
disproved. The argument from light as
sumcs that light waves are transmit
ted through space without loss; that
from grayitatiOn assumes that the
same thing is true for gravitational
attraction.
If light or gravitation is absorbed or
lost in some way when passing from
star to star the number of stars may
