"Komet und Weltuntergang" by Wilhelm Bölsche is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the impending catastrophe that humanity might face due to the predicted collision of the Earth with Halley's Comet. It combines elements of both astronomy and philosophy, reflecting on mankind's relationship with the cosmos and the existential dilemmas that arise when faced with such cosmic threats. The opening of the work introduces a foreboding atmosphere as the author illustrates the panic and ethical dilemmas that emerge from the prospect of humanity's demise. Bölsche references both mythic and historical literature, remarking on the inevitability of cosmic events causing human suffering. He further discusses humanity's progress in understanding the universe technologically, but ultimately stresses the inherent helplessness of human efforts when faced with nature's vast powers. This blend of poetic reflection and scientific inquiry sets the stage for a deeper exploration of both the philosophical implications of cosmic events and the very real fears that come with them.
