Abstract
ATTEMPTS to construct theories about the physical conditions inside a star need, of course, no excuse. Such theories are on the same footing as other physical theories, inasmuch as many intermediate steps will be inaccessible to the test of observation. They have, therefore, the right to a fair and serious judgment on a par with ordinary physical theories, according to agreement with observation, inner consistency, or beauty and simplicity.
