 We conclude, therefore, that the rings must consist of disconnected particles ; these may be either solid or liquid, but they must be independent. The entire system of rings must therefore consist either of a series of many concentric rings, each moving...  The Mathematical Monthly - Page 3011859Full view - About this book

Now the physical condition of the primary rings was probably somewhat analogous. After the process... | |
