Abstract
- The article focuses on the verification of the theory of relativity by some scientists during World War I and the years that followed. Some people believed that Sir Arthur Eddington should have become more respected than Albert Einstein because he invented the nuclear model of atom. Some people also claim that Eddington is responsible for the fame of Einstein because of the proofs he made. During the First World War, Eddington led an expedition that proved the theory of relativity through the deflection of light from stars during a solar eclipse.
