Review: Another hit from Sir Arthur (:>)) - Eddington was one of the "early understanders" of General Relativity and I always enjoy reading his explanations of GR and cosmology in their early days. In this book he manages to explain GR without using painfully abstruse mathematics, which allowed me to focus on the abstractions without getting tangled in the details. Some of his ideas have fallen out of fashion and sometimes he goes off at tangents. But it's a delightful book - and occasionally a little of his mischievous humor sneaks out.
Review: Page 51: "The World of Four Dimensions" - "However successful the theory of a four-dimensional world may be, it is difficult to ignore a voice inside us which whispers 'At the back of your mind, you know that a fourth dimension is all nonsense.' I fancy that that voice must often have had a busy time in the past history of physics. What nonsense to say that this solid table on which I am writing is a collection of electrons moving with prodigious speeds in empty spaces, which relatively to electronic dimensions are as wide as the spaces between the planets in the solar system! What nonsense to say that the thin air is trying to crush my body with a load of 14 lbs. to the square inch! What nonsense that the star-cluster, which I see through the telescope obviously there now, is a glimpse into a past age 50,000 years ago! Let us not be beguiled by this voice. It is discredited."
