 The Origin of Helium

The helium which we handle must have been put together at some time and some place. We do not argue with the critic who urges that the stars are not hot enough for this process; we tell him to go and find a hotter place.

Eddington incorrectly assumes Helium could not be manufactured in stars because they are not hot enough, but argues that theorist should find a hotter place. Both wrong and insightful at once.
