- Title
Eternity According to the Stars.
- Authors
Blanqui, Louis-Auguste
- Abstract
In this article the author discusses the universe and its dimensions and speculates about what the limit of the universe would be like if one were able to reach it. The article notes that the puzzle of trying to resolve the absolute certainty of the infinity of the world with the inability to understand it is an aggravating provocation for the human intellect. The article also discusses the meaning of the indefiniteness of the universe, the physical composition of stars, and observations on scientist Pierre-Simon Laplace's cosmogony and the comets.
