might actually blow up"-explode like a
toy balloon because the exterior air pres

queer or he might be quite comfortable.
1t is all guesswork
And beyond twenty-five miles science
knows nothing-except by inference and
speculation.
The general belief among scientists is
that the earth, as 1t revolves in space.

which whirls around with 1t as IL turns
on its axis, and that this envelope of air
grows progressively rarer in density as
you go higher, until it ceases to exist en-.
tlrely at about two hundred miles
Beyond this envelope. astronomers be-
lieve, the thing they call inter.stelar
space begns-a space that is intensely
cold, containing no air or gas of any kind
Yet 1t cannot be entirely empty. For it
contains some substance by which the vi
brations OF light travel-and this sub.
stance the scientists call "ether." They
don't know what ether is. You can't see
1t, or smell it or weigh it or touch it. IT
la simply their name for the thing that
exists in space and that the light vibra-
tions ride, as ship rides the water, or
a bird rides the air.
The temperature Of this interstellar
space. the scientists believe, is absolute
zero, or 217 below zero centigrade. In
such cold, they say a humaD body would
not freeze as 1t does in ordinary cold,
but If exposed to it for a single second,
would disintegrate and cease entirely to
exist. But the most erudite Of the specu-
lators have no absolute knowledge about
inter-stellar space.
