True information. Sadly, the author is probably in high school. “A rising star among British astronomers...” Lame writing.
Sir A. Eddington rode his bike every day, lived with his sister and proved that Einstein’s theory was correct. Eddington used the solar eclipse to prove that the sun’s gravity bends the light of starts just a little bit.
Eddington lived with other geniuses, such as Dirac, and always hoped that future geniuses would explain his obscure M theory. Never happened. Eddington’s M theory is still obscure. Even Stephen Hawking could not explain it.
Sir Eddington was a favorite Natural Philosopher among many physicists of his day.
“used the solar eclipse to prove that the sun’s gravity bends the light of starts just a little bit.”
Wouldn’t a little bit of atmosphere around the sun bend the light of a star behind it?
