Arthur Eddington Quote

We can now form some sort of picture of the inside of a star — a hurly burly of atoms, electrons and aether-waves. Disheveled atoms tear along at a hundred miles a second, their normal array of electrons being torn from them in the scrimmage. The lost electrons are speeding a hundred times faster to find new resting places.
