Gravity’s Century
Gravity’s Century: From Einstein’s Eclipse to Images of Black Holes | Ron Cowen
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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 hole at our galaxy’s center.

48/150 I love a good dive into science. Fortunately, this is written for the science layman, so I wasn't overwhelmed with theories and mathematical equations. I'm not sure if I fully understand how gravity and quantum mechanics work in relation to black holes, but I have more appreciation for the science involved. 3.75/5
