Below is an excerpt from Rationality: From AI to Zombies by Eliezer Yudkowsky.
(If you like to stretch your brain, I highly recommend this book. It’s challenging and cerebral in a good way.)
A lesson in confidence from Einstein to head into next week strong…
“In 1919, Sir Arthur Eddington led expeditions to Brazil and to the island of Principe, aiming to observe solar eclipses and thereby test an experimental prediction of Einstein’s novel theory of General Relativity.
A journalist asked Einstein what he would do if Eddington’s observations failed to match his theory. Einstein famously replied: ‘Then I would feel sorry for the good Lord. The theory is correct.'”
