Aristotle Smith wrote:Newton's theory of gravitation was overturned by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity which has a completely different basis for what gravity is and how it works.


Okay, how exactly was Newton's law of universal gravitation overturned? Why are universities still teaching Newtonian gravity to college freshmen? No, Newton's theory of gravity was not overturned.

Einstein challenged the assumption that space was fixed, unchanging. Einstein theory predicts space is warped by mass.
