Abstract
THE results of the Solar Eclipse Expeditions announced at the joint meeting of the Royal Society and Royal Astronomical Society on November 6 brought for the first time to the notice of the general public the consummation of Einstein's new theory of gravitation. The theory was already in being before the war; it is one of the few pieces of pure scientific knowledge which have not been set aside in the emergency; preparations for this expedition were in progress before the war had ceased.
