...physical characteristics of the stars carries one into the realm of atomic physics and spectroscopic theory. The astronomical treatment of the earth as a planet necessarily requires the assistance of geology. The motions of the planets provide the application of the laws of dynamics in a somewhat more complex state of affairs than that provided by most terrestrial conditions. And, of course, the student of astronomy, and the professional astronomer too, finds a knowledge of meteorology a handy accessory. Thus a student concentrating in astronomy finds essential contacts with other fields of science and with mathematics...
...pure metals which Professor Bridgman has squeezed become better conductors of electricity the greater the pressure. Iron becomes more rigid, glass less rigid. Zinc crystals compress seven times as much in one direction as in another. Most compressible of metals is cesium, presumably because its atom is highly complex. The greater the pressure on rocks, the greater the heat needed to melt them...
