Summary: EINSTEIN! Still the Champion… Of Physics! Episode 62 by Scott Unger (Click here to directly access the MP3) (Access the full text transcript) Gravitational Lensing - the Gravity of the galaxy in the middle is bending the light from farther away around it - allowing observers from Earth to focus on the far-away celestial bodies. Einstein. One of the biggest minds science has ever known and arguably the most important scientist to the advancement of our understanding of the universe the world has ever known. And much like a prize fighter – some would seek to prove Einstein wrong. Defeat the Champ and you win the belt. Enter the ring, Dr. Edward Dowdye, former NASA scientist, arguing that Einstein got it wrong with the Theory of Relativity… But hold up! You have to check the facts before you accept that the Champ has been defeated… And listen to this podcast to learn more!
