About this event

The Eclipse that changed spacetime: The 1919 solar eclipse and Einstein's rise to fame
Ohio State Marion Professor of Physics, Dr. Chris Orban

Ohio State Marion Professor Dr. Chris Orban will delve into the history of physics and explain why the observations conducted during the 1919 solar eclipse changed the way we think about space and time. Prior to that eclipse, Einstein's theory of relativity was still very new and untested, and Einstein himself was far from being a household name.  Enjoy the talk and if it's sunny Professor Orban will lead some solar observing afterwards!
