How did Arthur Eddington prove Albert Einstein's theory of relativity?

Arthur Eddington proved Einstein's theory of general relativity during a solar eclipse in 1919 by measuring the deflection of starlight passing close to the Sun. Eddington showed that the observed deflection matched the predictions of Einstein's theory, providing strong evidence in support of general relativity. This experiment helped establish Einstein's ideas as a breakthrough in our understanding of gravity and the nature of the universe.


In What year was observational truth that light bends obtained?

In 1919, during a solar eclipse, the observation of the bending of starlight around the Sun was confirmed by Sir Arthur Eddington and his team of astronomers, providing evidence for Einstein's theory of general relativity.

How did Arthur Eddington contribute to science?

He is famous for his work regarding the theory of relativity. Eddington wrote a number of articles which announced and explained Einstein's theory ofgeneral relativity to the English-speaking world. World War I severed many lines of scientific communication and new developments in German science were not well known in England, and vice versa. He also conducted an expedition to observe the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 that provided one of the earliest confirmations of relativity, and he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of the theory. -wiki


Why can't the days go back?

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases with time. Based on this, the British astronomer, Arthur Eddington developed the concept of the "Arrow of Time". According to this time is asymmetrical and we can only go forward in time. As a result days cannot go back.
