No shadow of a doubt : the 1919 eclipse that confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity / Daniel Kennefick

by Daniel J. Kennefick

This historical account examines the 1919 British scientific expeditions to Brazil and Africa that tested Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. It analyses the challenges faced by the researchers and addresses the scepticism surrounding their results.

brief_description
In 1919, British scientists led extraordinary expeditions to Brazil and Africa to test Albert Einstein’s revolutionary new theory of general relativity in what became the century’s most celebrated scientific experiment. This offers the most comprehensive and authoritative account of how expedition scientists overcame war, bad weather, and equipment problems to make the experiment a triumphant success. --blurb
