| Summary | "The Popular Science Monthly, August, 1900" by Various is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work is a monthly magazine that features articles on various scientific topics, aimed at making complex scientific ideas accessible to a general audience. The publication contains an array of subjects including geological time, sound photography, color psychology, and astronomical discussions, reflecting the scientific thought and discoveries of that era. The opening of this volume begins with G. K. Gilbert's article on "Rhythms and Geologic Time," where he discusses the ongoing quest to understand the age of the Earth. He emphasizes the challenges associated with measuring geologic time, exploring methods ranging from sedimentation rates to the identification of natural rhythms, such as the daily and annual cycles observed on Earth. Gilbert introduces various timekeeping mechanisms, including the pendulum and clepsydra, drawing connections between rhythms in nature and the methods used to conceptualize time in geological contexts, thereby setting the stage for a deeper analysis of Earth's history throughout the publication.
