Excerpt from Worlds in the Making, the Evolution of the Universe, Vol. 1
The explanations which I tentatively Offered could, Of course, not claim to stand in all their detail; yet the scientific world received them with unusual interest and benevolence. Thus encouraged, I tried to solve more of the numerous important problems, and in the present volume I have added some further sections to the com plex Of explanatory arguments concerning the evolution of the Universe. The foundation to these explanations was laid in a memoir which I presented to the Academy of Sciences at Stockholm in 1900. The memoir was soon afterwards printed in the Physikalische Zeitschrift, and the subject was further developed in my Treatise of Cosmic Physics.

He discusses the composition of the Earth's interior, the role of water in volcanic activity, and the geographical distribution of seismic events. Moving beyond our own planet, the author considers the celestial bodies as potential homes for life. He investigates the formation of the Earth's crust, the balance of heat, and the conditions necessary for life to flourish. Drawing on the work of scientists like Mayer and Helmholtz, he explores the Sun's role in sustaining life and the intriguing phenomenon of radiation pressure. The book also delves into the mysteries of comets, meteorites, and the enigmatic aurora borealis. The author's exploration extends to the origins of nebulae and the life cycle of stars, questioning the ultimate fate of the Sun and the potential for life to spread throughout the universe. He examines theories of spontaneous generation and panspermia, and considers the possibility of life existing on other planets. Through a captivating blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical reflection, this book offers profound insights into the dynamic forces that have shaped our world and the universe beyond, leaving readers with a sense of wonder at the intricate processes that govern the cosmos.
