Part 4. Einstein encouraged him to go ahead with the experiment. In August 1913, he wrote, "Nothing more can be done by the theorists. In this matter, it is only you, the astronomers, who can …perform invaluable service to theoretical physics ".
Part 3. He wanted to measure the gravitational bending of light, which was possible only during an eclipse. He planned the experiment during the full solar eclipse of 1914.
Part 2. While we speak about Dicke's experiments, we also should recall the aborted experiments of Freundlich, which were to be conducted at the Crimea in Russia during the full solar eclipse in 1914. Freundlich was a young astronomer from Berlin who believed in Einstein, maybe, more than himself.
After reading about Dicke's experiments that confirmed Einstein's General Relativity over and over, I too could just imagine him in his armchair with that smug smile on his face. He knew all through that he was right.5 stars ⭐️
Theory of relativity has been interpreted by many scientists in many different ways but Bob's interpretation is quite valid and significant... Great write dear madam! !
Part 5. But, WW I broke out in 1914. The entire team of Freundlich was captured by Russian army and their equipment was confiscated. Mission failed
