Hace 12 horas · General relativity, also known as the general theory of relativity and Einstein's theory of gravity, ... and in 1919 an expedition led by Eddington confirmed general relativity's prediction for the deflection of starlight by the Sun during the total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919, instantly making Einstein famous. ...
Hace 4 días · After Eddington’s teams plotted the stars’ “locations” months prior, it became obvious that Einstein had been right; light bent around massive objects. Hafele and Keating had to take these gravitational effects into consideration when they did their flying cesium clock experiment in 1971.
Hace 3 días · Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) was quite a lucky man. He was a Quaker, which helped keep out of World War I. He also had a talent for being at the right place at the right time. A mathematically inclined English astronomer, he happened to be working as a secretary at the Royal Astronomical Society when Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter (1872-1934)’s letters and papers on Einstein’s new ...
Hace 4 días · Moreover, a much larger scientific audience then than today could read French. Rather, the main obstacle to a larger diffusion of Lemaître’s article was that most of the physicists of the time, such as Einstein and Hubble, could not accept the idea of a non-static universe. This was not the case with Eddington.
Hace 3 días · From October 24–29, 1927, the Fifth Solvay Conference in Physics took place in Brussels, one of the great meetings of world science. The Solvay Conference was devoted to the new discipline of quantum mechanics, whose problems disturbed many physicists. Among them was Einstein. For Lemaître, it was the opportunity to meet and talk with the ...

Hace 12 horas · The result was perceived as spectacular news and found itself on the front pages of many major newspapers. It made Einstein and his theory world-famous. When asked about his reaction if the GRT had not been confirmed by Eddington, Einstein jokingly said: I would have felt sorry for (the dear) God – the theory is correct [53].
