“Many are confounded by such universal retreat, and, turning it over in their minds backward, come to the conclusion that very, but very long ago the entire Cosmos was concentrated in a single point, a sort of stellar droplet, and that for some unaccountable reason something somehow led to its explosion, which continues to the present day.
