Some Of the Problems That
Face Astrologers in the
Study of the Stars.

By DR.. C. 8. BHAININ.
IT IS impossible by means OF any
i experiment for us 20 measure the
true or absolute velocity Of any body
through space; this is the founda-
mental physical principle Of the Rela-
tlvlty Theory. We can learn only
velocities which are relative, T. e.,
velocities with respect to those Of
other bodies. In the case Of the earth
we can measure the velocity with re-
spect TO any Of the stars or with re-
spect to the sun. but we shall always
remain ignorant OF the true speed
with which we are hurtling through
space. In practical every day life we
know only Of veloclties with respect
TO the surface Of the earth Fur
thermore. 10 IS plainly unnecessary
10 know any absolute veloclties for
the explanation Of the phenomena
with which we are brought into con-
tact But this negative principle can
be by itself Of no use whatsoever in
extending our knowledge. with Il Is
coupled a second postulate that the
velocity OF light when not passing
through matter is q definite constant
in all directions GS6.000 miles per
secondl. The reason for the appear
ance OF light here IS that light pro-
vides the only possible means Of
measuring veloclties and distances,
which IS Independent Of the things
to be measured and the position OF
the measurer.
Out in space, the distance between
two points could be measured only by
the time which light takes 10 pass
between the points and any time
measurement or comparison Of clocks
at separate points would have 70 be
made by light signals only. Hence,
we are forced IA order 20 be practical
and experimental, 70 fall back upon
the velocity Of light There is here
certainly nothing which does violence
to any Of our notions yet the further
development which has been received
at the hands Of Eistein, LoTanz. Min
kowski and others has led 70 results
and further conceptions which are
strange and perhaps unimaginable,

that light has a definite, not infinite

To our mind space has nothing 70 do

itself In this theory time and space
