Democritus
would say that there are an infinite number of worlds, differing in size; in some there
is neither sun nor moon, in
others they are larger than ours, and in others there are many suns and moons. The distances between the worlds are unequal and in some quarters
there are more worlds, and
in others fewerÉ in some quarters
worlds are coming into being and
in others they are ceasing to exist.
