When the ships failed to return, Lady Franklin was relentless in demanding and often funding search expeditions.
But bad luck, a dismissiveness of Inuit accounts and the vastness of the Arctic led to failure. As Kamookak listened, he became convinced that native people knew what had happened to the ships. His work was patient, exhaustive — and discounted by the outside world. Later searchers brought technology to the hunt, and indeed, the ultimate discoveries were a result of scientific advances as well as some hardy scuba divers. Was there mutiny or heroism?
Debates continue. Or perhaps more pointedly, when one culture feels superior for no better reason than pride.

Log In Welcome, User. Meanwhile, observations of the star Sirius B seemed to support another prediction, that the gravity of stars stretches the light waves they emit. By the end of the s, relativity was on solid footing. These incredibly bright objects, at first mistaken for stars, can send out powerful radio waves. Other fans have hunted for artifacts from the expedition, with mixed results. A lens that traveled to Brazil is now part of a telescope in a British castle compound. And as for the photographic plates that actually captured the eclipse images, many seem to have been destroyed or lost, says Catchpole.
Relativity is now accepted by the scientific community, and its many predictions continue to be tested in wacky ways, from experiments that use atomic clocks to observations of colliding neutron stars.
The media buzz around the eclipse may have launched Einstein into superstardom. But the staying power of his theory is what kept him there. By Devin Powell Friday, May 24, It reimagined gravity as a warping of time and space — a distortion in the fabric of the universe. The more massive an object, the bigger the distortion, and the more its gravity can bend light. Ready to be imprisoned as a conscientious objector, Eddington, like Einstein, believed in pacifism.
A backup telescope took this decisive image of the background stars circled during the solar eclipse. Dyson, A.
Eddington et al. Cosmic Confirmation Would confirmation come from the other side of the Atlantic, where the weather in Sobral was more cooperative? Dyson had his own issues analyzing these plates. Photos taken by his primary inch telescope were out of focus and provided values more consistent with Newton.
