Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How Planets and Moons Were Made
If energy made matter do work, then let us study energy and not the finished product which years ago spent a por tion of its energy and thereby and with it forever hid from our eyes the exact process of planetary procreation. It takes energy (centrifugal force) for the earth to circum scribe her path annually around the sun;'it takes energy to cause vibrations or oscillations of matter to become visible to the eye; it takes energy to cause vibrations from wind and string instruments to bring forth musical sounds; it takes energy to form light and heat from and with matter; it takes energy to disturb the atmosphere and it takes energy to dis turb water. Without energy there would be no motion, no vibration, no oscillation-all matter would be quiet, dead in rest and silence.
