不仅仅是因为理论：戴森，爱丁顿和1919年日食探险的竞争神话
Not Only Because of Theory: Dyson, Eddington and the Competing Myths of the 1919 Eclipse Expedition
摘要：
1919年的月食探险是为了验证广义相对论的光弯曲预言，它仍然是20世纪最著名的物理实验之一。然而，近几十年来，越来越多的人声称探险队领导人的数据分析是错误的，并偏向于爱因斯坦的理论。据说亚瑟·斯坦利·爱丁顿特别偏爱广义相对论。具体来说，有人声称，一些数据，这将有利于所谓的牛顿预测，被抛出了可疑的理由。本文认为，对探险队组织者的观点和他们的数据分析的仔细检查表明，他们有充分的理由采取行动，而且参与其中的关键人物，特别是天文学家弗兰克·沃森·戴森，并没有偏向爱因斯坦。它还提请注意现代重新分析的最重要的日食板，虽然被忽视，直到现在，往往强烈支持本文的论点。
英文摘要：
The 1919 Eclipse Expedition to test the light-bending prediction of General Relativity remains one of the most famous physics experiments of the 20th century. However, in recent decades it has been increasingly often alleged that the data-analysis of the expedition's leaders was faulty and biased in favor of Einstein's theory. Arthur Stanley Eddington is particularly alleged to have been prejudiced in favor of general relativity. Specifically it is claimed that some of the data, which would have favored the so-called Newtonian prediction, was thrown out on dubious grounds. This paper argues that a close examination of the views of the expedition's organizers, and of their data analysis, suggests that they had good grounds for acting as they did, and that the key people involved, in particular the astronomer Frank Watson Dyson, were not biased in favor of Einstein. It also draws attention to a modern re-analysis of the most important eclipse plates which, though overlooked until now, tends to strongly support the thesis of this paper.
