The true and messy story of the 1919 eclipse expeditions said to prove General Relativity with no shadow of doubt.
Despite all these issues and limitations, modern scholars confidently assert that Dyson’s and Eddington’s 1919 results were robust with “no shadow of a doubt.” Dyson himself wrote in December 1919 that his Greenwich Observatory team was “very satisfied with the eclipse results, as they seemed definitive.”
Their confidence is difficult to justify when we realize that Dyson soon had significant doubts. He “said that he would not be in the least surprised if the [imminent] 1922 [eclipse] photographs did not confirm the Einstein effect. He thought that possibly they in England had stressed Einstein a little too much.” “The results of the 1919 eclipse were in accordance with Einstein, but it may be that your results of 1922 will not confirm this,” Dyson confided to William Wallace Campbell (1862–1938), the American astronomer leading up a 1922 eclipse expedition.

🇺🇦🏴☠️🇺🇸 The Pentagon has fired or suspended everyone who was responsible for Ukraine, Ukrainian journalist Roman Bochkala said.
According to him, this is a complete reboot and we need to wait for a new format of relations.

"It’s all a bit alarming,” Bochkala said after meeting with journalists from the American newspaper The Washington Post.
I was holding out for this EO only AFTER embassies around the world had four years of flying the MAGA flag, but I'll take it as a compromise in a spirit of reconciliation with the other side.

"Dozens of writers are making millions feeding TDS copy pasta to broken brains. As I predicted two years ago, they are migrating to Substack en masse as MSM collapses. Instead of becoming true independents, they are spewing the same propaganda here as they would for their former employers.

"A police inspector with 27 years on the force was sacked after using slurs about disabled people to insult Just Stop Oil protestors.
Insp Ross Meredith, who was part of Merseyside Police's LGBT+ network, said the climate change activists were "like special needs kids" and suggested they had a "mental health condition".
"Mr Meredith was found guilty of gross misconduct at an accelerated misconduct hearing, chaired by assistant chief constable Alex Ross, and dismissed without notice.
Merseyside Police said Mr Meredith's language had "undermined our considerable efforts to be an inclusive force that represents all of our diverse communities".
The force was made aware of the posts in April 2024 and he was ordered to take them down, but in June it was noticed that "unacceptable material" remained on his account.
"A written judgment from the hearing described how on 7 June 2023 Mr Meredith responded to a post from Just Stop Oil by stating: "This evil cult are so dim they simply don't realise the futility of their tantrums.""

Similar sightings of these raining fireballs across the Lake Michigan area during the great fire in Chicago. Perhaps this event was cause of some of these numerous “great fires” in that time period.
