Hey! Just Wondering, How Did A Solar Eclipse Prove The Theory Of Relativity?

Hey! Just wondering, how did a solar eclipse prove the theory of relativity?

According to the theory of relativity space is not static. The movements of objects can change the structure of space.

In Einstein’s view, space is combined with another dimension - time - which creates universewide “fabric” called space-time. Object travel through this fabric, which can be warped, bent and twisted by the masses and motions of objects within space-time.

One prediction of general relativity was that light should not travel in a perfectly straight line. When traveling through space-time and approaching the gravitational field of a mass object, the light must bend-but not too much.

Then the English astronomer Sir Frank Watson Dyson proposed that the total solar eclipse of 1919 could prove, because the Sun would cross the bright Hyades star cluster. Star light would have to cross the gravitational field of the sun on the way to Earth, but would be visible due to the darkness of the eclipse. This would allow precise measurements of the positions displaced by the gravity of the stars in the sky.

Because of this, teams of researchers strategically positioned themselves in two locations that would initially provide the best conditions for observing the eclipse. One group stayed in Ilha do Príncipe, in São Tomé and Príncipe, and other researchers settled in Sobral, Ceará (Brazil).

Eddington, who led the experiment, first measured the “true” positions of the stars during January and February of 1919. In May, he went to remote Prince Island (in the Gulf of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa) to measure Positions of the stars during the eclipse, seen through the gravitational lens of the sun.

The total eclipse lasted about 6 minutes and 51 seconds, during those few minutes the astronomers captured several photos of the total eclipse. When Eddington returned to England, his data from Príncipe confirmed Einstein’s predictions.Eddington announced his discoveries on November 6, 1919.

Rare Nitrogen Molecules Provide Insight into Life-Supporting Planets

Authored by Kenny Walter, Digital Reporter, R&D Magazine

The presence of rare nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere may shed light on the makeup of life-supporting planets.

Researchers from UCLA have measured the amount of a rare and heavy form of nitrogen gas (15N15N) in the air and discovered that the gas is significantly more abundant than the scientists expected.

US Scientists Try First Gene Editing in the Body

Authored by Associated Press

Scientists for the first time have tried editing a gene inside the body in a bold attempt to permanently change a person’s DNA to try to cure a disease.

The experiment was done Monday in California on 44-year-old Brian Madeux. Through an IV, he received billions of copies of a corrective gene and a genetic tool to cut his DNA in a precise spot.

Researchers Discover Possible Key to Rejuvenating Aging Cells

Authored by Kenny Walter, Digital Reporter, R&D Magazine

In what could be breakthrough research on human aging, researchers have found a way to rejuvenate inactive senescent cells.

Scientists from the University of Exeter have discovered a new treatment which, within hours, caused older cells to start dividing and grow longer telomeres—the caps on the chromosomes that shorten as humans age.

“Quantum Secrets & Hidden History Of Free Energy”

instead of gasoline and oil. Ulf Dahlström had several fascinating years working with Meyer on his projects, which took him into some extraordinary and mind-blowing areas, of how we understand the world we are living in. * Is FREE ENERGY a possibility or even a reality? And why is it hidden from the global population? *

Did Nikola Tesla already discover the secrets of the universe, and could bend time and space to make Time Travel possible? * Did Time Traveler Al Bielek, a friend to Ulf Dahlstöm, really take part in the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943 and end up time-traveling to 1983, and from then on to the years 2137, 2749 and 6037? *

Quantum secrets and the connection to the spirit world. Mind over matter? Energy and vibration is the key to understanding the link between science and spirit. * Parallel dimensions in an infinite Multiverse. Could that be real? * WATER! Is water really pure energy that reacts to the human mind and intentions? *

Remote viewing and out-of-body and near-death experiences! * What happens to us when we die and the soul leaves the body? * Why are so many secrets kept from us? Ulf Dahlström is direct, informational and sharp to the point, who has had a long career within the world of science and is now speaking out.

This interesting, in-depth and educational hard-talk conversation between Ulf Dahlström and Age Of Truth TV presenter Lucas Alexander, took place at the Open Mind Conference in Audonicon, Skanderborg, Denmark .
