About this book
Worlds in the Making, The Evolution of the Universe, is by Svante Arrhenius. A section headed End of the Sun, Origin of Nebulæ says the sun is dissipating and wasting almost inconceivable amounts of heat every year. The text says a strange body, for instance a meteorite, which rushes from the infinite universe into the sun has at its collision a velocity of 600 km. (400 miles) per second.
The text says the eruption of Krakatoa was heard at Alice Springs, at a distance of 3600 kilometres, and on the island of Rodriguez, at almost 4800 km. (3000 miles). The text says that twice in the course of the year the earth passes through the plane of the solar equator, and that during these periods a minimum of solar dust trickles down upon the earth.
