Cornell's brilliant, Alsatian-born astrophysicist Hans Albrecht Bethe thus elaborated his already famed theory of the source of stellar energy (TIME, Feb. 27, 1939) in a lecture under the auspices of Sigma Xi, national science honor society, now published...
Ordinary chemical reactions are totally inadequate to explain stellar energy. Even if the sun were composed entirely of coal (carbon) and the right amount of oxygen to burn it, the energy of that combustion could supply the sun's heat for a mere 2,500 years. Helmholtz' old theory that the energy comes from contraction of the sun's mass (in effect from the falling inward of all its matter) is also inadequate because it would explain only 30 million years of sunniness. Even radioactivity, the spontaneous disintegration of atoms such as uranium and radium, will...
