Scientific paper

The classical formulation of "Olbers' Paradox" consists in looking for an
explanation of the fact that the sky at night is dark. We use the experimental
datum of the nocturnal darkness in order to put constraints on a Newtonian
cosmological model. We infer then that the Universe, in such a model, should
have had an origin at a finite time in the past.
