THE SOLAR SYSTEM
DIAGRAM VIII represents the solar system, with its 1O schemes of evolution, each consisting of 7 chains of 7 globes, the 7 rounds of each chain being indicated, as before, by the circles drawn through the globes.
The student will by now have clearly realised that, as the 7 chains of each scheme come into existence successively, Diagram VIII does not represent the solar system as it is at the present time, but is a collective picture of the stages through which it passes.
The actual state of the solar system at the present time is indicated in Diagram IX. The round on which each chain is at present engaged is shown, where it is known; where it is not known, the rounds are dotted. The chains of schemes 8, 9 and l0 are also shown dotted, as their present stage is not known.
The solar system at present therefore has 70 planets which, as previously said, may be regarded as having a definite location in space, and as revolving round, or in some way depending upon, our sun. These 70 planets are shown in Diagram X.
We may now make our final table as follows:
7 globe - periods = 1 round.
49 globe = 7 rounds = 1 chain-period.
343 globe = 49 rounds= 7 chain-periods = 1 Scheme of Evolution.
10 Schemes of Evolution = our Solar system.
