Ah, that was a famous clash about whether stars could collapse under their own weight. Professor Chandrasekhar's mathematics said yes, but Sir Eddington felt such a 'black hole' was too strange to be real. Time proved Chandrasekhar right. It reminds me of when our co-op's young engineer insisted on a new accounting software; I thought his figures were fanciful, but his modern 'lehā' brought our books into perfect balance.
