100 years of the first experimental test of General Relativity
arXiv:1907.10687 · doi:10.1038/s41567-019-0519-3
Abstract
Einsteins general theory of relativity is one of the most important accomplishments in the history of science. Its experimental verification a century ago is therefore an essential milestone that is worth celebrating in full. We reassess the importance of one of the two expeditions that made these measurements possible, a story that involves a sense of adventure and scientific ingenuity in equal measure.
