...surface temperature of the sun is measurable by spectroscopic analysis. Into the much hotter centre, only physical theory can penetrate. The theory must answer two questions: 1) What temperature corresponds to the enormous pressure of pure radiation, exerted from inside, that keeps the sun distended in a stable shape, prevents it from collapsing by gravitational force? 2) What temperature is necessary for the continuous release of atomic energy, that is, consumption of matter as the raw material of radiation? Sir Arthur Eddington believes an internal temperature of 20,000,000° C. is enough. Sir James Jeans thinks it must...
Several practice games are played each week, affording Dean Chauncey an opportunity to see his fledglings in action. From all early indications, the team should shape up well in the spring, according to the coach, although there seems to be no outstanding star...
