:But as you point out, the solar eclipse experiment didn't test general relativity in practice: the margins of error were too big. (I don't know if that's still true with modern experiments; could someone who knows more about that fill me in?) So, while it's theoretically falsifiable, it's possible that general relativity hasn't actually been tested yet... -- [[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 10:36, 13 November 2009 (EST)

::[http://www.ias.ac.in/pramana/v63/p731/fulltext.pdf Here] is a nice review of a variety of experimental tests of general relativity, along with discussion of other experiments that may be undertaken in the future. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 10:43, 13 November 2009 (EST)
