...horizontal flange attached to the dome, when an astronomer flipped a switch and the dome began to turn, Einstein with it. The physicist did not realize that he was moving. Like most visitors subjected to the same experience, it seemed to him that he was stationary, that the whole central well of the observatory (solidly anchored through concrete pillars to bedrock) was turning in the opposite direction. The observatory's able, wry director, Walter Sydney Adams, explained that it was an illusion. "You know," he said. "Relativity...
