A century ago this week Lord Eddington conducted his historic observation of starlight deflection by the sun. Due to the small deflection one had to wait for total solar eclipse, travel to its location, hope it will be clear and take pictures via the telescope.
This way Eddington confirmed Einestein's General Relativity for the first time, and turned Einstein into a Superstar overnight.
We will mention some other GR confirming experiments, and conduct ourselve one toward the end of the session.
