Physicist and astronomer Arthur Eddington tested Einstein's Theory of Relativity at an eclipse in 1919. A lifelong Quaker, his 1929 Swarthmore Lecture explores how science and religion define and look at reality. ‘You will understand the true spirit neither of science nor of religion unless seeking is placed in the forefront.’ ‘He puts a strong line against simplistic reductionism in relation to our minds . He emphasizes that when we ask the question, “What are we to think of it all? What is it all about?,” the answer must embrace but not be limited to the scientific answer. His lecture explores this in a delightful way, that remains fully relevant today.’ — Prof. George Ellis 'The attitude of the scientist, here so admirably explained, is the attitude, also, of the mystic. Experience, to both, is what matters most.”’- The Sufi Quarterly, 1929.

British scientist Arthur Eddington was once more famous than Albert Einstein! Informed scientists understand how intertwined the two are. Einstein's theories are well known, but it was Eddington who proved and endorsed many of them. This book describes the rise of these two men and how their friendship fostered scientific breakthroughs and ultimately Einstein's fame. Readers will be interested in the accessible explanations of some famous theories, such as the Theory of Relativity, while the relevant photographs and fact boxes further clarify biographical details.

This is the definitive biography of the great astronomer, mathematician and philosopher Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, which was highly praised on its first publication in 1956. It has long been out of print, and we now offer it in a fresh edition.In the 1920s Alice Vibert Douglas was that unusual creature for the day, a lady student of astronomy, and she was one of Eddington's pupils at Cambridge. She knew the great man personally and was able to paint a uniquely vivid portrait.Eddington was a super-giant in an age of intellectual giants in physics and astronomy. He was one of the first men to understand General Relativity and he evangelized that new theory to the English-speaking scientific public; he did ground-breaking work in astrophysics on the Constitution of the Stars; and during his last twelve years he developed (but could not complete) his great synthesis "Fundamental Theory" - an extraordinary combination of quantum theory and relativity which included derivations of many of the fundamental constants of physics from purely epistemological principles. He also devoted a great deal of effort to his philosophy of "Selective Subjectivism" or "Subjective Structuralism".PRESS COMMENTS (from 1956):The Observatory, London (written by Eddington's assistant for eighteen years): "The writing of the biography of such a man as Eddington required great courage and deep understanding of his scientific works, for his mind and pen ranged over the whole expanse of astronomy and atomic physics in a measure unequalled by any of his contemporaries. Professor Douglas reveals a literary skill befitting the eminence of the subject of her book... She has rendered a signal service in the realms of scientific biography; her book will bring delight and profit to all classes of readers."Dr. Slater, Leeds: "This biography brings so much enlightenment on the development of Eddington's scientific and philosophical outlook that all students of his work will thank Dr. Douglas."Sky and Telescope (T.K. Menon, Harvard College Observatory): "An integrated view of the activities of a truly great scientist... an interesting account of his early studies of star motions, through stellar structure, relativity, and cosmology... a lively narrative of his controversies with his fellow astronomers... a lucid outline of Eddington's personal philosophy... No review can be complete without commenting on the literary excellence of this biography... fascinating reading for both the professional and the amateur astronomer."We quote a poem which Eddington wrote on the subject of his famous eclipse expedition in 1919 when he verified Einstein's prediction of the deflection of starlight:Ah Moon of my Delight far on the wane,The Moon of Heaven has reached the Node againBut clouds are massing in the gloomy skyO'er this same Island, where we laboured long - in vain?And this I know; whether EINSTEIN is rightOr all his Theories are exploded quite,One glimpse of stars amid the Darkness caughtBetter than hours of toil by Candle-lightAh Friend! could thou and I with LLOYDS insureFor Gold this sorry Coelostat so poorWould we not shatter it to bits - and forThe next Eclipse a trustier Clock procureThe Clock no question makes of Fasts or Slows,But steadily and with a constant Rate it goes.And Lo! the clouds are parting and the SunA crescent glimmering on the screen - It shows! - It shows!Five Minutes, not a moment left to waste,Five Minutes, for the picture to be traced -The Stars are shining, and coronal lightStreams from the Orb of Darkness - Oh make haste!For in and out, above, about, below'Tis nothing but a magic Shadow showPlayed in a box, whose Candle is the SunRound which we phantom figures come and goOh leave the Wise our measures to collateOne thing at least is certain, LIGHT has WEIGHTOne thing is certain, and the rest debate -Light rays, when near the Sun, DO NOT GO STRAIGHT.
