Bibcode: 1987exun.book.....E
Altcode:
This classic book investigates the experimental determination of one
of the fundamental constants of astrophysics and its significance for
astronomy. The equations of general relativity include a constant lambda
in their solution. If lambda is non-zero and positive, this represents
the phenomenon of cosmic repulsion. In this book Eddington discussed
the implications of this repulsion for models of the universe.Contents:

Title: The Mass of the Universe
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1940Natur.145..549E
Altcode:
UNDOUBTEDLY, the mass of the radiation should be added to the mass
of the stars and of the nebulous matter in computing the total mass
of the universe. But the general belief is that its contribution is
comparatively small-less than 1 per cent of the whole. This is not
inconsistent with the figures cited by Admiral Beadnell. With radiation
at the rate of 4 × 1028 tons per second, it would take
5 × 1018 seconds, or more than 1011 years,
to accumulate to 1 per cent of the total mass 2 × 1049
tons. According to cosmological theory, the age of the stars can
scarcely exceed 1010 years.

Title: Atomic Transmutation and the Temperatures of Stars
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1933Natur.132..639E
Altcode:
THE letter of Gamow and Landau1 suggests that an upper limit
to the internal temperature of a star can be obtained by considering the
disintegration of lithium. Investigations of this kind will probably
be of great importance in the future development of astrophysics, but
the actual proposal of Gamow and Landau rests on an assumption which
is scarcely likely to be true. They postulate that any lithium found at
the surface must have been carried there by diffusion from the central
region, where it is presumed to have been created. Diffusion in a star
is an exceedingly slow process, the time of relaxation being of the
order 1013 years2. It would make small progress
during the maximum age of the giant stars. But there is a process of
mixing which is likely to operate much faster, namely, the circulating
currents in meridian planes indirectly caused by the rotation of the
star. The order of magnitude is indicated in an example treated by
the writer in which the speed of the vertical current was found to be
60 metres a year3. The example was chosen with the view
of giving an upper limit to the amount of this circulation ; but,
allowing for slower currents in an average star, the lithium will be
brought to the surface far more quickly in this way than by diffusion.
Title: The Expanding Universe
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1933Natur.132..406E
Altcode:
I THINK everyone will agree with Miss Clark that if the distribution
of nebular velocities is considered to be mainly a distance effect,
it indicates an expanding system, whereas if it is mainly a time
effect it indicates a system which is about to enter on a stage of
contraction; and her letter is of service in pointing out the two
alternatives. Adopting the hypothesis that it is a time effect, we
see from her figures that 100 million years ago the spiral nebulæ
(near and far) were moving away from our galaxy at 17,000 km. per sec,
and that in the next 50 million years some kind of central attraction
acting equally on near and distant nebulæ reduced the recession to
8,500 km. per sec. Formally there is nothing against this; but there
is not much temptation to pursue the speculation unless some kind of
cosmogonic explanation of the rather odd distribution of velocities and
rather unusual law of attraction is offered. The most direct criticism
is that the attractive force seems to be very much too large to be due
to the ordinary gravitation of the system and has to be invented ad hoc.

Title: The Problem of Stellar Luminosity.
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1930Natur.125..489E
Altcode:
I ASK your permission to reply to the arguments brought forward by
Prof. Milne (NATURE, Mar. 22) against my treatment of the problem of
stellar luminosity. The outcome of my investigation is a formula which
predicts the luminosity of a star of given mass and radius (or mass
and effective temperature). I have followed the common procedure of
first employing special assumptions to make the mathematical answer
definite, and then removing the assumptions by calculating the effect
of the greatest admissible variation from the conditions adopted as
standard-thus obtaining what is equivalent to a probable error of
the prediction. The calculations of luminosity must, of course, be
considered in conjunction with these estimates of probable error. I
think that the discussion in ``Internal Constitution of the Stars''
of all known sources of uncertainty is exhaustive; and I conclude
that the error is not so great as to impair the practical value
of the formula. I have shown that differentially the result agrees
excellently with observation, but absolutely it makes all the stars
about ten times too bright. In view of this remaining discordance, I
have been as eager as my critics in searching for possible loopholes or
complications. If Milne's scrutiny brought to light any new possibility
I should be grateful; but his criticism is not of this type. He claims
that there is a fundamental inadequacy in my method, so that not even
a rough value can be computed in this way.

Title: Liquid Stars and Atomic Volume
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1928Natur.121..496E
Altcode:
THE problem of the general state of matter at high temperature is so
fundamental in stellar physics that I venture to pursue the discussion
with Dr. Jeans (NATURE, Feb. 25, p. 278). I would first thank him for
his reply to my letter, which, though I differ from it on a number
of points, deals fairly with the questions raised. I still believe I
was not exaggerating in saying that Jeans's theory requires that the
ions (in giant M stars) should be so large that they jam at densities
that of air. Jeans wishes to amend this to 80 × air. But my figure
represents the order of magnitude of the central density of Betelgeuse
according to the usual gas model, and he has himself said that the star
contracts as a gas until there are substantial deviations from the gas
laws in the central regions. To form his liquid core of higher density
it would seem that Betelgeuse must have contracted as a gas to its
present radius, and then for unexplained reasons thrown out a gaseous
envelope filling the present volume. Or starting from his liquid core
of density 80 × air, we have to face the problem of balancing on this
a gaseous atmosphere containing much less mass and subject initially
to 8000 times the gravitation of the ordinary model. I think that
to achieve this Dr. Jeans will have to depart much more widely from
current theory than he intended.

Altcode:
IN NATURE of Feb. 4 (p. 173), Dr. Jeans has given an attractive
exposition of his new theory of stellar evolution involving `liquid'
stars. With all goodwill towards innovations which might help to
remove present difficulties of the evolutionary theory, I cannot follow
Dr. Jeans's lead because I find myself in disagreement with him on two
preliminary and essential points. These points, discussed separately
below, have already been the subject of careful investigation, and even
in Dr. Jeans's fuller papers on his theory I find no new considerations
which would modify the conclusions formed.

Title: Ether-drift and the Relativity Theory
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1925Natur.115..870E
Altcode:
THE brief messages in the daily press with regard to
Prof. D. C. Miller's experiment have aroused much interest and
bewilderment; it is therefore of great value to have Dr. Silberstein's
authoritative account in NATURE for May 23. Comment on the experiments
themselves would be out of place until the details are published; but
it may not be premature to point out that the surprising hypothesis
of ether-drift, by which it is proposed to account for the results,
is disproved in advance by the daily measurements at astronomical
observatories. These measurements constitute a test for differential
ether-drift much more delicate than the Michelson-Morley experiment.
Title: The Source of Stellar Energy
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1925Natur.115..419E
Altcode:
THE source of a star's energy is debated in recent letters by
Prof. Lindemann and Dr. Jeans (NATURE, Feb. 14 and 28). Dr. Jeans's
conclusion is that the liberation of energy from the sub-atomic store
occurs at a rate independent of temperature and density; and if one
star liberates energy more slowly than another, it is solely because
the former has exhausted the more prolific material. I think that
there are grave astronomical objections to this view.

Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1924Natur.113..746E
Altcode:
IN a letter to NATURE of April 26, Dr. Silberstein makes a proposal
for determining the distance of a remote star by observing the
displacement of the spectral lines at six months interval; he claims
that this method will separate the ordinary Doppler effect of the
unknown motion of the star from the distance-effect predicted by de
Sitter. It seems to me clear that this proposal contains a fallacy. The
material to be experimented on is a certain regular train of light-waves
proceeding through the small region round the sun accessible to us;
the star itself is inaccessible. The frequency of these waves is to be
measured by two observers-for example, a January observer and a July
observer. These observers differ only in their velocities V1
and V2 relative to the frame of reference; Dr. Silberstein
neglects any effects of the short interval of time and of space between
the two observations and of the distortion of the waves by the local
gravitational field.

Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1924Natur.113..192E
Altcode:
IN Whitehead's theory of gravitation, as in Einstein's, the tracks of
particles in a gravitational field are determined by the condition that
a certain integral taken along the track is stationary. The integrand is
denoted by dJ in Whitehead's theory and ds in Einstein's. Light-tracks
are further conditioned by dJ or ds, respectively, being zero. Since
both theories are known to give the observed results for the perihelion
of Mercury and the deflexion of light, dJ cannot be widely different
from ds in the field of a single particle (the sun); but I do not
think it has hitherto been noticed that dJ is exactly equal to ds.

Title: The Measurement of Intervals
Authors: Eddington, A. S.
Bibcode: 1922Natur.110..697E
Altcode:
I CANNOT resist Mr. Cunningham's invitation in his review of
my Romanes Lecture (NATURE, Oct. 28, p. 568) to justify more
precisely the transition from the picture of world-history as
a tangle of world-lines to the scheme of intervals filling a
continuum of space-time and demanding non-Euclidean geometry. ``
Prof. Eddington seems to contemplate as `measurable' the intervals
between pairs of points in this continuum which do not correspond
to events in the history of any particle or electron in the material
universe. But we wish to ask him how these intervals are in practice
to be measured.'' Mr. Cunningham's point is that the picture which
we have to dissect is the actual history of the world, and we are not
allowed to alter it-to introduce measurements which never were made,
or to introduce physically recognisable events at points where nothing
actually happened. I accept this limitation. He admits, however, that
all measurements that have ever been made are contained in the picture,
and, I might add, all measurements that ever will be made. Thus we have
a large number of measured intervals available for discussion; and I
think that Mr. Cunningham, like myself, is convinced that the geometry
which these measured intervals obey is not exactly Euclidean but is
given correctly by Einstein. When once this geometry is determined we
proceed to fill all space-time with calculated points and intervals
; just as we ordinarily fill all space with calculated points and
distances after first determining the geometry by means of a few
distances actually measured and a few points actually perceptible. Only
a small number of the calculated points and intervals correspond to
events and measurements in the historical picture; but whenever there
is a measured value it will agree with the calculated value.

Bibcode: 1921Natur.107..170E
Altcode:
I AM indebted to the Editor's courtesy for the opportunity to comment
on the foregoing letter. In deciding whether an approximation is
allowable, regard must be had to the problem to which it is to be
applied. It is true that equation (3) neglects a term of importance in
the motion of the apse, and is therefore not valid for the problem of
the perihelion of Mercury; but there may be other problems for which the
approximation can be justified. One of these is the calculation of the
Gμν for continuous matter on p. 59 of my ``Report''. My
proof starts with the approximate calculation of the line-element in
a sphere which is ultimately made infinitely small; I think that the
justification of the neglect of m21 given in §
36 is correct, though the argument is intricate, and I would welcome
detailed criticism. But, for example, my formulæ are not sufficiently
accurate to give the rotation of the apse-line of a particle moving
freely through a diffuse spherical nebula.

PROF. ANDERSON suggested in NATURE of December 4 (p. 354) a possible
source of systematic error in the determination of the deflection
of light at an eclipse, owing to lateral refraction caused by a
temperature-gradient in the shadow-cone in our atmosphere. Having
carefully considered this suggestion, I feel convinced that the effects
of any possible temperature-gradient would be small.

Bibcode: 1917Natur..99..445E
Altcode:
I AM in general agreement with Mr. Jeans's remarks on the difficulty of
obtaining a source of stellar energy more powerful than the Helmholtz
contraction. It may be added that there is a conceivable source,
which was, I believe, once suggested by Mr. Jeans himself, viz. a
gradual annihilation of matter by positive and negative electrons
occasionally neutralising one another. This would provide an almost
inexhaustible store of energy, but there is the grave objection that
it affords no reason why the, dense dwarf stars should liberate so
much less energy than rarefied stars of the same mass. One would have
expected compression to be favourable to the process of cancelling of
electrons. The search for an additional store of energy is not at all
encouraging; but, on the other hand, there are important arguments
against the short time-scale-notably Prof. Strutt's evidence of the
age of terrestrial rocks, and the time needed for the tidal evolution
of the earth-moon system. I have not felt myself able to combat the
arguments on one side any more than on the other; accordingly, in the
paper criticised by Mr. Jeans, the question was left entirely open. In
the one place where it was necessary to consider the source of stellar
energy, I attempted to show that my formula fairly represented both
the radio-activity and the contraction hypotheses-having regard to
the necessarily approximate character of the investigation.

MR. JEANS'S criticism of the dimensions of my equation,
``radiation-pressure=gravity,'' is clearly only a verbal matter. It may
be preferable to expand the sentence so as to read, ``force on material
due to radiation-pressure=force on material due to gravity.'' But
statements that radiation-pressure is x times gravity have been commonly
made in connection with the theory of the repulsion of comets' tails,
and I thought the reader would have no difficulty in inter- preting
my statement in the same sense.
