This theory duplicates in large part the planetary theory of the late Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin and Forest Ray Moulton of the University of Chicago. Professor Moulton, now director of Utilities Power & Light Corp. (Chicago), some time ago flayed Sir James for not giving due credit to Chamberlin. Last week Sir James alluded to that attack by indicating that his and the Chamberlin-Moulton theories did differ. In what, his audience did not much care. They were there primarily to look at great men of science...
...meteors and related effluvia has the earth been compounded. A billion or more years ago, according to the planetesimal theory of the late Geologist Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin (TIME, Nov. 26). a star passed near to the sun, and by tidal action sucked the gases of a great sunburst out into space as a monster twirling gas mass.† The gas broke into eight main puffs which gradually coalesced into the eight planets-Mercury, Venus, Earth. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four are now more or less solid, the others very gaseous, Jupiter, the largest, being...
...long line of philosophers who have tried to explain the Earth's origin, the best died last week. He was Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, 85, professor emeritus of geology at the University of Chicago. His death was due to heart disease, made worse by bronchial pneumonia. His theory, the planetesimal, he ex pounded again in a new book published only last month - The Two Solar Families - the Sun's Children (University of Chicago Press, $2.50). In brief his theory is this : Eons ago a Star, swished near the Sun and by its gravity, sucked a great, explosive cloud...
...cosmic ray (TIME, March 26). But the helium-nitrogen activity seems to be just the opposite. When helium and nitrogen collide and explode, forming oxygen and hydrogen, energy appears to be stored rather than given off. From this have arisen arguments which support the theory of Prof. Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin-that the earth has been built up by the aggregation of smaller bodies such as meteorites or planetesimals, in which energy has been stored...
