Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Frederick C. Weber's Solution of the Centuries Old Problem: Is There a Creative Power
The matter of what space amounts to; the vastness of its extent is simply far and away beyond the comprehension of human minds. Taking our nebular universe as an ex ample, which is a typical one in space, it is a vast ?attened disk-shaped aggregation of solar systems whirling on a cen tral axis, and is so vast in extent, that it takes over light years for light to cross it on the ?at at its hub and over light years for light to crosss it at its center from edge to edge. Light is definitely known to have a velocity of about miles per second of time, in passing through space. If we make an attempt to figure the number of miles the nebular universe is across on either way; across the hub, or from circumference to circumference, we get a row of figures so long that it means incomprehension. We can by compari son only try for some way whereby we can get some idea of distances in space - infinite space.
