"Prof. Milne. I have had an opportunity of seeing Dr. Chandrasekhar's paper. We have both been working on the same problem. I had intended to present a paper, written around Mr. Fairclough's latest numerical results, to this Meeting of the Society, but it has been unavoidably delayed. In many ways the methods pursued and the results obtained are the same as Dr. Chandrasekhar's. I have pursued a cruder method of analysis, but I believe that my method gives more insight into the fundamental physical postulates underlying the work, takes account of our ignorance of the behaviour of degenerate matter, and gives a more rational picture. A result common to our theory and Dr. Chandrasekhar's is that the more massive a star, the smaller its radius when completely collapsed. This has a bearing on the Russell diagram."
