During Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar studies at Cambridge, Fowler, Eddington and Edward Arthur Milne, remained skeptical of Chandrasekhar's limit because the theory did not explain what happened after a star goes beyond the limit. However Milne and Eddington, which became the examiners of Chandrasekhar's 1933 PhD thesis, appreciated Chandrasekhar's work on white dwarfs because it could help solve some discrepancies between the two. Chandrasekhar's model supported Eddington's idea that a star over the critical mass would act as a perfect gas, however according to Chandrasekhar not all stars became white dwarfs in direct conflict with Eddington's theories. Soon after, the same year, Chandrasekhar was elected fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.
