Quotes2

  • Arthur Eddington: Pick up the tablecloth.
  • [Winnie and Frank hold up the tablecloth]
  • Arthur Eddington: Space. The tablecloth is space...
  • [Holds up a round loaf of bread]
  • Arthur Eddington: The sun.
  • [Drops it in the middle of the stretched tablecloth]
  • Arthur Eddington: What's happening?
  • Winnie Eddington: What?
  • Arthur Eddington: What's happening with the sun in space?
  • Winnie Eddington: Well, the bread is sinking into the tablecloth.
  • Frank Dyson: The sun makes a shape around it in space.
  • Arthur Eddington: Yes. Now, what happens if I do this?
  • [Tosses an apple into the tablecloth; apple makes an oval around the bread]
  • Arthur Eddington: It *wants* to travel in a straight line, but it can't. Why not?
  • Winnie Eddington: Because the bread is making a shape.
  • Frank Dyson: The apple follows the curves made in space.
  • Arthur Eddington: Yes. Yes, space is shaped. And *that* is how gravity works. Space tells objects how to move. Objects tell space what shape to be. And there's a way to prove it.
  • Arthur Eddington: Einstein or Newton; that's the question he's asking.
  • Winnie Eddington: Well, then, the truth is all that matters. And you must go after it.
