Abstract
SIR ARTHUR EDDINGTON has not met my point (NATURE, Sept. 20, p. 341). Assuming, in accordance with his claim, that criteria could exist which would determine that a law was applicable to certain experiences, I asked what he would do if such experiences were found to violate an “inviolable” law. He has related what Adams and Leverrier did when experience afforded an opportunity of testing a law not held to be inviolable. My question still remains.
