How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T9756646 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Space, Time and Gravitation
"Space, Time and Gravitation" is a popular science book by Arthur Stanley Eddington that explains Einstein’s theory of general relativity and its implications for our understanding of the universe.
-

The Mathematical Theory of Relativity
The Mathematical Theory of Relativity is Arthur Stanley Eddington’s influential 1923 exposition that systematically presented and popularized Einstein’s general theory of relativity for the scientific community.
-
C.
The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time
The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time is a seminal 1973 monograph by Stephen Hawking and George Ellis that rigorously develops the mathematical foundations of general relativity and the global properties of cosmological models.
-
D.
Relativity, Thermodynamics and Cosmology
Relativity, Thermodynamics and Cosmology is a classic 1934 physics monograph by Richard C. Tolman that systematically applies thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to relativistic and cosmological problems.
-
E.
God, Time, and the Metaphysics of Relativity
God, Time, and the Metaphysics of Relativity is a philosophical and theological work that examines how modern physics—especially the theory of relativity—bears on the nature of time, divine eternity, and God’s relationship to the temporal world.
- F. None of above. chosen

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
