General relativity is nearly correct up to the precision of measurements...

Yes!

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

YEAH! I love it when Einstien's theories are tested. It's badass.

hehehe, there are tons of theories that's not yet proven. It's amazing how he is still making news after he has died.

Well, in the particular field of science we're talking about, it's not uncommon for the dreams and reasoning of men and women to far outpace the development of tools to verify their theories. I don't think the books on gravity and gravity-related forces will be closed for a hell of a long time. Einstien is still as good as it gets for now though. Isn't it amazing that as inaccurate as Newton's theories are, that's what they used to get to the moon as well as accomplish many other tasks in space?

Newton was a math guy, he saw that the inverse R squared held for large mass bodies and it sure does.

The problem is more complicated when dealing with things other than gravity and when you have small mass objects.

Hey I'm not dissing on Newton he had his shit on lockdown but yeah, what you said about smaller bodies.
