MANY besides astronomers will have received pleasure from reading Prof. Eddington's lecture which appears in NATURE of May 1, but I doubt whether mathematicians, physicists or chemists will be prepared to accept his proposed means of escape from the difficulties which beset his theories. He considers (in spite of mathematical proof to the contrary) that a star built on the uranium model-built, that is, of matter in which the generation of energy proceeds spontaneously without regard to changes of temperature and density-would be unstable. He then proposes to secure stability by supposing the star to be built on what may well be described as the gunpowder model: ``To save the star we must suppose that the increase of temperature and density ... causes an increase in E'', E being the rate at which the star generates energy.
