The passage discusses the philosophical implications of observations regarding the line and flutings produced by carbon, suggesting that the blue line corresponds to the simplest molecular grouping, while the flutings represent more complex ones. The author emphasizes the importance of these findings, particularly in the context of future research, and notes that the conclusions of Ångström and Thalén, which are based more on theory and analogy than on experiments, are questioned. The author also addresses the significance of these observations in understanding other spectra, particularly in relation to comets and their chemical composition. The passage concludes with a discussion on the importance of education, highlighting the positive impact of compulsory education and the retention of special subjects like science, and the need for continued investment in scientific research.The passage discusses the philosophical implications of observations regarding the line and flutings produced by carbon, suggesting that the blue line corresponds to the simplest molecular grouping, while the flutings represent more complex ones.
