O knihe

Excerpt from The Making of the Earth

The origin of the earth deals with events of primeval antiquity and with conditions very different from those of the present time. Hence it is not surprising that we find the problem attended by many uncertainties, for we only know the earth after it has waxed old and we only look upon the earth's cold outer surface. Of one fact we can, however, be sure; the earth was originally part of a much larger and less compact mass, from which came all the other members of the Solar System.

The earth is not unique in structure or material. Many of the heavenly bodies that we see in the sky at night are similar to the earth; for the spectroscope shows that some of them are composed of similar materials; some also of the fragments of shooting stars that fall upon the earth consist of the same minerals as the rocks of the earth's crust.
