  • The Nature of the Physical World

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    I have settled down to the task of writing these lectures and have drawn up my chairs to my two tables. Two tables! Yes; there are duplicates of every object about me—two tables, two chairs, two pens. This is not a very profound beginning to a course which ought to reach transcendent levels of scientific philosophy. But we cannot touch bedrock immediately; we must scratch a bit at the surface of ... Read more

  • Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    By his theory of relativity Albert Einstein has provoked a revolution of thought in physical science.The achievement consists essentially in this:|Einstein has succeeded in separating far more completely than hitherto the share of the observer and the share of external nature in the things we see happen. The perception of an object by an observer depends on his own situation and circumstances; for ... Read more

  • The Philosophy of Physical Science

    TARNER LECTURES 1938 - CAMBRIDGE

    by Arthur Eddington ...
    Series Book 22 - Toppbook Wissenschaftliche Bibliothek
    It is often said that there is no "philosophy of science", but only the philosophies of certain scientists. But in so far as we recognize an authoritative body of opinion which decides what is and what is not accepted as present-day physics, there is an ascertainable present-day philosophy of physical science. It is the philosophy to which those who follow the accepted practice of science stand ... Read more

  • The Theory of Relativity and its Influence on Scientific Thought

    by Arthur Eddington ...
    "Every one now admits that the Ptolemaic system, which regarded the earth as the centre of all things, belongs to the dark ages. But to our dismay we have discovered that the same geocentric outlook still permeates modern physics through and through, unsuspected until recently. It has been left to Einstein to carry forward the revolution begun by Copernicus — to free our conception of nature from ... Read more

  • The Nature of the Physical World

    The Gifford Lectures 1927

    by Arthur Eddington ...
    Series Book 23 - Toppbook Wissenschaftliche Bibliothek
    In these lectures the author Eddington discusses some of the results of modern study of the physical world which give most food for philosophic thought. This will include new conceptions in science and also new knowledge. In both respects we are led to think of the material universe in a way very different from that prevailing at the classical physics. This book is substantially the course of ... Read more

  • The Theory of Relativity and its Influence on Scientific Thought

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    In the days before Copernicus the earth was, so it seemed, an immovable foundation on which the whole structure of the heavens was reared. Man, favourably situated at the hub of the universe, might well expect that to him the scheme of nature would unfold itself in its simplest aspect. But the behaviour of the heavenly bodies was not at all simple; and the planets literally looped the loop in ... Read more
