Albert Einstein's General Relativity revolutionized the theory of gravitation by presenting it not as a force but as a curvature in spacetime. While both Einstein's and Newton's equations yield similar predictions in many cases, a deeper examination reveals that modifying Einstein's equations to match Newton's requires disregarding the principle of relativity itself. This invites intriguing questions about the relationship between these two distinct frameworks of physics and highlights the complexity underlying Einstein's contributions to our understanding of the universe.
Einstein's theory of gravitation, General Relativity, redefined our understanding of gravity from an instantaneous force to a curvature of spacetime that matter and energy follow.
James Raymond poses a profound question: Can Einstein's equations be simplified to match Newton's law of universal gravitation? The answer involves nuanced discussions about physics.
