The eclipse photo that made Einstein famous

Ойын-сауық

In 1919, a total solar eclipse helped redefine gravity.

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, published in 1915, defined gravity as the influence of massive objects, like planets and stars, curving space around them. This was very different from the way Isaac Newton had defined gravity over 200 years earlier: Newton described an attracting force that kept planets and stars in orbit with each other. If Einstein was right, then light would also bend near massive objects. And in 1919, two British expeditions set out to test it by photographing a total solar eclipse. By comparing the position of stars with the sun in front of them and another with the sun elsewhere, Arthur Eddington and his team proved that the stars’ apparent positions moved during the eclipse. This was the first, but not the last time Einstein’s theory of general relativity was tested and proven, and Einstein became a celebrity overnight. He remained a pop culture icon for the rest of his life.

    Fun Fact - Albert Einstein did not get a Nobel Prize for his theory of relativity but did get a Nobel Prize earlier for explaining the photoelectric effect which he is lesser known for.

    The idea that a Solar eclipse can be used to prove the Relativity theory was suggested by Einstein in 1911. The first expedition to prove Einstein theory was planned for the 1914 solar eclipse to be seen in Southern Russia - and this didn't happen due to the Great war that just started. The 1919 expedition was the second attempt.

    Just a small comment: You can't "prove" general relativity ... or any other theory for that matter. You can only confirm that it predicts the data more or less correctly. General Relativity is more precise than Newtonian Gravity but that doesn't "disprove" Newton - Newton is simply an approximation to a more complete theory that gives good predictions in a certain range. General relativity is probably also just a good approximation of a more complete theory of gravity - e.g. one that includes quantum mechanics. Not trying to be a stickler but trying to clarify for when the anti-science crowd shows up...

    I really love that this video doesn't omit the fact that Newton also predicted a displacement, or that the data was clear, but not perfect. Most pop-science tellings of this story go like: They held the two photographic plates over each other and there was a displacement and therefore Einstein was right. Good job for taking the time to tell the true story. Please continue stressing that science gains knowledge from careful observation of messy data, that is at the edge of our ability to measure.

It seems that if his prediction was simply off because of a miscalculation, we would call it Newton's theory rather than Einstein's, and Einstein would receive credit for correcting the theory. Without any prior knowledge of Newton's prediction, my guess would be that he was calculating something other than the effect of gravity on light.

    Newton thought of light as a stream of corpuscles with mass. In fact, his explanation for refraction was that the particles in the denser medium pull on the corpuscles through gravity. Calculation using Newtonian gravitation was wrong because the theory itself is inaccurate when dealing with such situations, flaws including treatment of space and time as absolute entities and failing to account for the finite speed of causality.

    I doubt any news will come of it... because it's a fraud. That black hole picture is only a compilation of about 6 pixels worth of information filtered through computers to produce the image that astronomers WANTED. It is not the product of a black hole, but rather countless data rearranged and sifted to fit a pre-existing narrative. There is little, to no raw data given on this black hole picture, only the fabricated image pushed out the the press.

    I mean on the internet it is also specifically presented in an entertaining style. Vox is great but it's still a media company first and foremost and that means that they have to focus on making their videos in a way that specifically attracts viewers. In the case of Vox that is probably a net positive thing because they don't skim over the facts or simplify things too much but other people might do that. Ultimately science and history are also a lot of boring research but sometimes we need to see the wonder of it before we get interested in doing the hard work involved. And I think a lot of schools go about teaching these subjects in the worst possible way and there are also other restrictions such as budget and the teacher's energy. An editor at Vox obviously can do multiple takes of a single video to get the right energy and they probably have a few weeks to make each video meanwhile your teacher might have to prepare 6 hour of classes each week while working a second job. What is clear to me as someone not living in the US is that the amount of stress American teachers face seriously impacts their ability to deliver good classes and as such the students suffer for it. Though even here I think sometimes schools do a bad job of teaching science since they don't really take the time to first inspire their students and then get into the nitty gritty.

Time is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity ON BALANCE. Gravity is ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great !!!! QUANTUM GRAVITY !!!! E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. What are the EARTH/ground AND the SUN are CLEARLY E=MC2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. It does ALL CLEARLY make perfect sense. GOT IT !!!! THE SKY is BLUE, AND THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE. Great !!! Now, think about the man who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Perfect !!!!

    Not entirely true. He was very much focussed on the war too. He wrote a pacifist manifesto denouncing the war, which almost got him thrown into jail. He was an ardent pacifist and so was Eddington. Two pacifists on either side of the war came together in mutual admiration and the love of physics.

    Squ1: interesting that you mention that. Think about popular science fiction over the last several decades. Usually takes one of two approaches: 1) Alien species are friendly and come to Earth to help us or to get our help or 2) Alien species want to dominate us or destroy us. Either way, we humans view Earth as the most important place in the universe. In reality, if there are indeed alien races out there somewhere, they don't care about Earth at all or even know of its existence.

    I've been under the path of a total solar eclipse but unfortunately it was cloudy at totality; we didn't see the sun until a few minutes after totality. We were on top of a small hill though, so we saw the shadow sweeping across the land towards us before darkness hit. Closest I've been other than that is 93% coverage in a 2015 eclipse, which was enough to produce strange shadows and a general feeling of unreality even though it wasn't total. I'm hoping to be in Spain for the August 2026 eclipse, which should have a reasonable chance of clear skies.
