Gravity’s Century : : From Einstein’s Eclipse to Images of Black Holes / / Ron Cowen.
Ron Cowen offers a sweeping account of the century of experimentation that has consistently confirmed Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He shows how we got from Eddington’s pivotal observations of the 1919 eclipse to the Event Horizon Telescope, aimed at starlight wrapping around the black ho...
