   Extractions: Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944) Latest Modification: July 22, 1996 Arthur Stanley Eddington, born in Kendal, England, on December 28, 1882, of Quaker parents, was a brilliant scholar. His first position after graduating from Cambridge University in 1905 was that of chief assistant to the Astronomer Royal at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, where he excelled in practical astronomy. In 1913 he was appointed Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge, and a year later he was made director of the observatory. The Internal Constitution of the Stars Eddington suspected that the chief source of stellar energy was subatomic and that hydrogen played a dominant role in supplying this energy. Later, in 1938 and 1939, Bethe introduced the theory for the fusion of hydrogen into helium, which clarified the picture of stellar energy generation and substantiated Eddington's speculations. In 1919 Eddington organized a solar-eclipse expedition to Brazil to photograph the stars in the neighborhood of the eclipsed Sun. This was to test whether or not stars seen adjacent to the Sun's limb would appear to have shifted away from the Sun and their normal position relative to each other, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Although difficult to measure, the observed shift in position was in rough agreement with Einstein's predicted valuethe first observational test of relativity theory. Eddington's efforts to verify Einstein's theory of relativity continued into the 1920s. Through his popular writings and his book

   Extractions: Arthur Eddington 's father, Arthur Henry Eddington, taught at a Quaker training college in Lancashire before moving to Kendal to become headmaster of Stramongate School. He died of typhoid in an epidemic which swept the country in 1884 before his son was two years old. Arthur Eddington's mother, Sarah Ann Stout, came from Darlington and, like her husband, was also from a Quaker family. On Arthur Henry Eddington's death she was left to bring up Arthur and his older sister with relatively little income. The family moved to Weston-super-Mare where at first Arthur was educated at home before spending three years at a preparatory school. In 1893 Arthur entered Brymelyn School in Weston-super-Mare which was mainly for boarders but he did not board at the school, being one of a small number of day pupils. The school provided a good education within the limited resources available to it and allowed Arthur to excel in mathematics and English literature. His progress through the school was rapid and he earned high distinction in mathematics. The level to which the school was able to take Arthur was, however, not very advanced and his good grounding in mathematics stopped short of reaching the differential and integral calculus.

Because of World War I , German science was not known very much in England. This same war caused problems for Eddington himself when he was called up for military service.

Scientific friends of his solved the problem by successfully arguing to relieve him from military duty because of his importance for science. After the war, Eddington travelled to the island of Principe near Africa to watch the solar eclipse of 29 May . During the eclipse, he took pictures of the region around the Sun. According to the general theory of relativity, stars near the Sun would appear to have been slightly shifted because their light had been curved by its gravitational field. This effect is noticeable only during an eclipse, since otherwise the Sun's brightness obscures the stars. This shift was indeed found. Eddington also investigated the interior of stars , and calculated their temperature based on what would be necessary to withstand the pressure of the higher-laying layers. He discovered the mass-luminosity relationship for

    Arthur Stanley Eddington (18821944). British astrophysicist who studied the motions, equilibrium, luminosity, and atomic structure of the stars.  
    http://astroinfo.port5.com/e/arthur_stanley_eddington.html
    
    Extractions: British astrophysicist who studied the motions, equilibrium, luminosity, and atomic structure of the stars. In 1919 his observation of stars during a solar eclipse confirmed Albert Einstein's prediction that light is bent when passing near the Sun, in accordance with the general theory of relativity. In The Expanding Universe 1933 Eddington expressed the theory that in the spherical universe the outer galaxies or spiral nebulae are receding from one another. Eddington discovered the fundamental role of radiation pressure in the maintenance of stellar equilibrium, explained the method by which the energy of a star moves from its interior to its exterior, and in 1924 showed that the luminosity of a star depends almost exclusively on its mass - a discovery that caused a complete revision of contemporary ideas on stellar evolution. Eddington was born in Kendal, Cumbria, and studied at Cambridge. Working for the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, he was sent to Malta 1909 to determine the longitude of the geodetic station there, and in 1912 he went to Brazil as the leader of an eclipse expedition. In 1913, Eddington returned to Cambridge as professor, and was director of the university's observatory from 1914.

There he attended school and, in 1898, was awarded a scholarship of 60 a year for three years by Somerset County (Weston-super-Mare is now in Avon but it was then in Somerset). Eddington attended Owens College, Manchester from 1898 to 1902. There he studied physics and mathematics, being greatly influenced by one of his mathematics lecturers, Horace Lamb He was awarded a 100 a year mathematics scholarship to study at Cambridge where he was taught by E T Whittaker , A N Whitehead and E W Barnes. He became Senior Wrangler (1904), Smith's prize winner and was awarded a Trinity College fellowship (1907). In 1913 he was appointed to the Plumian Professorship of Astronomy and in 1914 he became director of the Cambridge Observatory. In the same year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Eddington came from a Quaker tradition and, as a conscientious objector, he avoided active war service and was able to continue his research at Cambridge during the war years of 1914-18.

He calculated that the temperature at the center of the Sun would have to be in the millions of degrees Kelvin and published the mass-luminosity law for stars in 1924. He also worked out the causes for brightness variations in Cepheid variables On theoretical grounds, he predicted that Betelgeuse would have an angular diameter as large as 0.051 arc seconds. Eddington was one of the first to appreciate the importance of Einstein's theories of special and general relativity and published a treatise on the subject. He led an expedition to observed the total solar eclipse of 1919, in which the bending of light rays predicted by general relativity was observed (although it was later shown that the uncertainties were too large to make any definitive statement). Eddington was arrogant, and in his later years, cooked up pseudoscientific "proofs" on "physical" grounds that the fine structure constant was exactly 1/136. When experiments yielded a more accurate value, Eddington produced another proof "proving" that

Eddington was one of the earliest creators of the concept of relativity. He helped to confirm some of Einstein's work and make valuable additions to the area. Though he was very hostile to the views of some of his colleagues in his later life, he was truly a brilliant physicist. This page was created by Clark Bennett. Founding Fathers Index
