In the 1920s, Sir Arthur Eddington's reputation was as great as that of Einstein and Rutherford. His pioneering work on the structure of stars and the theory of relativity had brought him acclaim and respect. But a decade later Eddington had come to be viewed not as a genius but as a crank.
John Hendry examines Eddington's fall and the implications of his case for the current practice of science.
