From Einstein and Eddington*s Movie to New Materialism: The New Genealogy of Relativity, The Physics of Immateriality and The Immateriality of Physics — •Fadlan Khaerul Anam — University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia

Through Einstein and Eddington, Einstein*s Sobral discovery to New Materialism, this paper promises a new genealogy that contrary with the Cartesian rift interpretation on the Einstein*s genealogy of relativity. In Einstein and Eddington, the debate between Eddington and Lodge that associated the defense of Newtonian tradition with Lodge*s child death, and Einstein*s desire for prove his theory after an outburst against. Einstein verified in Sobral, a new conception of cosmology that presenting new consequences for the human race and modern science. New materialism was trying to mediate natural and cultural relations, the ideal and the material with idealizing material, materializing ideal. This gives us the neglected fact: theorization is not only catching externalities, but theorization of space-time is theorization on the material-cultural process of relativity. Genealogically, relativity is not started from the universe, but the first time through observation which is actually a meeting and gluing us and the universe become one, this by idealizing material. This meeting brought together the materiality of the universe with the immateriality of the universe that grows in our reason (I call the physics of immateriality). Materializing ideal, bring our cultural and mix with the previous meeting (I call the immateriality of physics).
