The progress of an industrial scientific culture is geometric. It goes n-times as many jumps as it takes. More than geometric exponential. Confidentially, Micro's Math chief tells me we're currently on a fourth-power progress curve trending into a fifth." "You mean we're goin' so fast we got to watch out we don't bump ourselves in the rear when we come around again?"
Stefan's rule of a fourth-power relation, if not actually a law of nature, is a colourable imitation of one; and its employment has afforded a practical certainty that the sun's temperature, so far as it is definable, neither exceeds 12,000° C., nor falls short of 6,500° C.
