We want to know why it is that all the matter in the world is segregated essentially in two forms: stars and nebulae. Why are there no stars which exceed in mass a few hundred times the mass of the sun? Why is it that nearly all stars and nebulae consist of the same chemical elements in roughly the same relative proportions as we find them in the sun? Where...
