Arthur Eddington T shirt by Guy Pendlebury

£ 29.00

Arthur Eddington 28 December 1882 - 22 November 1944, is celebrated here for his practical work to prove one aspect of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. During the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 Eddington took the measurements necessary to show that light was bent by gravity. Though most famous this was a relatively minor part of the work he did. Perhaps the least important of his constants was his E number for cyclists: the number of days a cyclist has done a similar number of miles. His E number was 84, that is he cycled 84 miles or more on 84 days. A little thought will show this is an exponential scale - a score of 85 is significantly harder to achieve than 84 and so on.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
