4 gru 2020 · Eddington had published the earliest works in the English language, the “Space-Time and Gravitation,” in 1920 and “Mathematical Theory of Relativity,” in 1923. These explained the mathematical details of Einstein’s theory of gravitation and special relativity.
British astronomer Arthur Eddington leading an expedition to observe the total solar eclipse of May 1919. The photos he took on the African island of Principe definitively confirmed the fun-damental prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity that the Sun’s massive body gravitationally deflects the light coming from distant stars.
