Popis: This chapter deals with traditional physics so as to cast light on the main themes of the book. A particular problem of luminescence is discussed to show how power laws can be faked. There is also discussion of a fractal universe. That is, it may be that galaxies are arranged hierarchically as far as the eye (with aids) can see. This is not accepted by most cosmologists, but is an interesting study. Finally, the chapter deals with the morphology of galaxies.
