The Ultimate “Truth”!

Total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919.¹

Isaac Newton mathematically compiled the dynamics of the universe in “Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica,” and in as much as it unerringly predicated all observable phenomena in the universe for almost three hundred years, it was truth ─ and all truth supports Scripture. 

However, the truth encompassed by the Principia was a “subset” of a still greater truth revealed by Einstein and validated by concurrent expeditions on two continents measuring the position of the same star during the total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919.

The reality as far as we are concerned, i.e., the truth determined by “real” science will always be a subset of the ultimate “Truth”!


“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names” (Psalms_147:4).

One of Eddington's photographs of the total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919, presented in his 1920 paper announcing its success, confirming Einstein's theory that light "bends"

Positive (inverted) edition of Image:1919_eclipse_negative.jpg. Original caption of that image: From the report of Sir Arthur Eddington on the expedition to verify Albert Einstein's prediction of the bending of light around the sun. In Plate 1 is given a half-tone reproduction of one of the negatives taken with the 4-inch lens at Sobral. This shows the position of the stars, and, as far as possible in a reproduction of this kind, the character of the images, as there has been no retouching. A number of photographic prints have been made and applications for these from astronomers, who wish to assure themselves of the quality of the photographs, will be considered as as far as possible acceded to.
