Einstein found the solution in General Relativity, which the black hole thing you mentioned actually supports. That said, it really irks me when people say Newton was disproven. Newton's physics are remarkably accurate for almost every situation except for very massive, very fast objects. So accurate, in fact, that even NASA uses standard Newtonian calculations for most things. The man was a complete and utter genius. If anything, General Relativity is just a refined version of Newton's physical calculations that include spacetime curvature. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:925602884] in I've never...
