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.
