Modern Review April 1930

1930

The feeling of the insignificance of man in the presence of the greatness of nature and especially in the presence of the vastness and splendour of the heavens above is one that has been very common in all ages. [...] How has the rise of the modern science of astronomy changed all this ! The earth though it has grown to he many times larger than the ancient thinker understood is now known by us not to be the centre of of the universe or the largest object in nature but relatively only a mere speck amidst the immensities of creation. [...] If the men of the ancient world had reason to feel humble and insignificant in the midst of their little universe what shall be said of ourselves in the midst of the universe that modern astronomy reveals—which copared with that of the ancient Hebrew is as infinity to a hand breadth ? I think we all have seen times when this thought of mates littleness in the midst of the universe as we know [...] And if the effect of knowledge of the one is to overshadow man the effect of knoledge of the other is correspondingly to exalt him. [...] The wastage in the livestock alone which is the largest item of agricultural capital causes a loss of one-third of its total value and the non-utilization of the barn-yard manure causes similarly a loss of two-thirds of its value.
