I was under the impression it wasn’t proven until space probes proved light redshifts near the sun when pointed at earth or the gravitational wave discovery
Yeah the funding necessary for large scale gravitational wave research wouldn’t have been forthcoming unless everybody had been convinced GR was the best description available for decades.
Einstein predicted gravity waves but didn’t expect we’d ever have the technology to measure them.
Primarily, Frank Watson Dyson and Arthur Stanley Eddington.

I’ve got some reading to do, thank you.
