Which theory did Eddington help explain to the English-speaking population?
Evolution
Heliocentrism
Electromagnetism
General relativity
Answer
The answer is general relativity, a theory of gravitation that describes how the universe bends space and time. Put simply, massive objects like stars and planets cause a dip in the fabric of space, and other objects in the vicinity move along these dips, which we perceive as gravity. Eddington's role was crucial in introducing this revolutionary concept to the English-speaking world.
