>1 . DO YOU KNOW IT? 5 j,
Astronomers announce that an explosion, probably
the greatest in our history, took place Feb. 27 out
atnong the. stars. Beta Ceti, a star of the “’second
magnitude” or brilliancy, suddenly flamed up and
became one of the brightest stars—technically
kjiown as “first magnitude*” What the astronomers
really means, is that the explosion took place 80 years
ago and that it became visible to us-Feb, 27. Beta
Ceti is so far away from our earth that it takes light,
traveling 186,300 miles a second, 80 years to reach
us. In other words, when we look at this star, we
it as it existed in 1843. What is it like now? No
Kof knowing until 80 years hence, in the year
,,A man 10 feet from you looks up and sees you-at a
certain instant. Farther away, 100 feet behind him,
another man looks up at identically the same time.
But the second man sees you a fraction of a second
later than does the first man, since it takes the light
waves a fraction of a second longer to reach hiih.
Trie fraction is infinitesimally small, of course. It
Increases with distnnce. You’ve noticed a similar
phenomenon if you ever looked out at sea and saw
smoke come from a cannon before you heard the re
port of the explosion. The explanation here is that
light waves travel faster than sound waveg
I^hen you look up into the sky at night, you see
thej&tars not as they are today but as they were at
various times in the past; The time depends on their
distance. Suppose there were people living on Bela
Ceti. ' There couldn’t be, as we understand things, be
cause of the intense heat up there. But just sup
pose. And suppose, also, that an astronomer ori Beta
- Ceti has a telescope powerful enough to enlarge our
earth sufficiently to see what^s going on here. Since
it takes 30 years for light waves to travel between
-our earth and Beta Ceti, that astronomer is seeing
whtft happened on, earth 80 years ago. It would be
the year 2003 before ho could see what is. happening;
here today. Apply the same idea to more distant-
stars,; and-people on them would be peering through
their telescopes today watching the Battle of Water
loo, -the building of the pyramids, funeral of King-
. Tut-^-and so on, according to distance. This is what
Einstein has in mind when , he says that time is rela-
tive, not. fixed and absolute. If you ponder the jdea,
it will impress you that in the universe there is hot
really, any present, past or future. All is an Eternal
Now. Time is a delusion of our senses. A light-wave-
image, of everything we do, travels on forever into
space.. All is eternal.

satisfied with any other motor oil.
Polarine is made in one of the world’s
greatest refineries, from the heart of
specially-selected “crudes”—distilled,
refined and filtered to just the proper
grade of oiliness.
It is transported from the refineries
to your dealer’s tanks and dispensed
by him with such carte that you may
be assured of its purity, regardless of
whether you buy it in bulk or in >
packages.
Ask your dealer to consult the chart
of recommendations and tell you just
what grade of Polarine to use. After
you have done this, the simple recipe
for motor satisfaction is to watch your 1
