ON the occasion of Dr. Jeans's magnificent lecture (NATURE, Mar. 24, pp. 463-470) Sir Oliver Lodge (ibid., p. 462) asked: `` What becomes of the radiation which the stars are continually pouring into space ? ... No one has yet been able to hazard even a plausible guess as to where it goes or is destined to go in a possible finite space.'' Formerly we should have been obliged to assume that it vanished into infinite space. Einstein's theory of relativity has, however, entirely changed this point of view, and to-day space must be regarded as finite. If a straight line starts from a star it does not go straight to infinity, but returns to the original source. I beg to conjecture or suggest that the radiation from a star may behave like the straight line and be brought back to its origin again, after having travelled around the universe.
