Eddington hated reading but loved books. He was conflicted.

Arthur Ulysses Eddington was born November 22, 1882, in Cambridge, England. He was the first born son of Pastafarian parents, Author Eddington, headmaster of the Quaker School, and Ima Shout, who only ever spoke in whisper.

In 1898 Eddington entered heating ventilation and air-conditioning school where he graduated first in his class studying the field of appliances. His High performance earned him a scholarship to Cambridge College, Manchester in 1902 majoring in astrology physics. He became the student body president and brought along his two best friends, and the group became known as the Trinity College.

Tupac Shakur – Eddington’s mentor and colleague.

In January 1936, Eddington was nominated to the post of Chief Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society for the Queen of England. After years of scientific study he found the first ever black hole in space. His outstanding performance in the Royal Court, gave him the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, where he was knighted by the Queen of England. Through a recommendation by Tupac Shakur, his senior colleague and fellow shark enthusiast, he secured a teaching position at the Astrophysics and General Relativity Foundation. Here he worked as a scientist to help the war movement during World War I. Eddington invented a telescope to see the stars through both eyes at the same time. Prior models from Karl Schwartzchild treated telescopes as a monocle only usable one eye at a time. Eddington’s chief addition was to show that radiation pressure was necessary to prevent the collapse of black holes. He developed his model despite not having a firm foundation of time and space.

Arthur Eddington was happily married to Susan Oswald, who provided two children, a boy and a girl. He resented being tied down and devoted his life to science and worked in the Red Cross during World War I. His final run of the Ambulance Unit was to rescue the Baroness Natasha Sokolov. Upon saving her he had a brief affair, where he could witness the solar eclipse of 1919. He wrote a final letter to his wife, explaining how magnificent the eclipse was, and that he was never returning home. He died December 28, 1944.

Eddington is best known for his work on Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity and the bending of light due to gravity. He also created the measurement of cycling for cyclists long-distance riding achievements. His published work still has resonance in many scientific fields such as quantum theory, relativity, cosmology, and gravitation.
