It seems to me, that if the matter of our Sun and Planets and all the matter in the universe was evenly scattered throughout all the heavens, and every particle had an innate gravity towards all the rest... some of it would convene into one mass and some into another, so as to make an infinite number of great masses scattered at great distances from one to another throughout all that infinite space. And thus might the Sun and Fixt stars be formed, supposing he matter were of a lucid nature.
This quote interests me because it questions the start of the universe, something that we still have not figured out to this day. It also makes me wonder - if all the matter in the universe were created through the same methods, how come there are so many different kinds of things out there? Gas Giants, Rock Planets, Stars, Sun-Stars, and planets like our own... how did all the matter form so many different things? What kind of matter was originally out there, anyway? It makes me wonder just what the universe was like at start, and how it ended up the way it is today.
