Abstract
THE recent discoveries of extremely luminous and very distant objects, indicating a collapse of vast masses of dimensions of galaxies, suggested to one of the authors a re-examination of the problem of collisions in a multiple star system. The recently accumulating evidence of the association of the novæ phenomena with binary or multiple star systems also revived this question. Some of the ideas were then discussed with G. and M. Burbidge.
