1 + 1 = 2 is not provable beyond any possible doubt. The earth revolves around the sun not provable. But faith is reason to believe?

Newton has been disproved?

Yes. By Einstein.


Sorry...you are wrong on both counts.
HUP IS NOT A THEORY...english is your native tounge right?
And Newton wasnt "disproved". Newtoian physics are still in affect, and probably always will be. If for some reason I see any of his 3 laws of motion fail, I will let you know.

Gravity is the parent of all creation, not provable, yet, but more plausible than the belief that "God did it"... Smile

@RexRed,
there is a lot wrong with the official newtonian version of gravity!

Science is an edifice of evidence, one axiom built upon another.

Maybe.
I once though the same way.
However if the fundamentals are flawed, which they are, everything build on that is also flawed. So the building of axioms is flawed as well.
Really, ;science' is created to lead us away from the truth ( there are more reasons)

That is what I always hear.
I am NOT saying things do not fall. Your confusing what is happening ( something falling) with the explanation WHY it is falling, That are really to seperate things. If you tell me things will fall, I agree. But if you tell me it is gravity as explained by Newton (who really was a drunk, someone else wrote his books!) I disagree.

Is "Quehoniaomath" code for some new designer street drug or hallucinogen?

@giujohn,
Newton's law of gravitation has been superseded by Einstein's theory ofgeneral relativity, but it continues to be used as an excellent approximation of the effects of gravity. Relativity is required only when there is a need for extreme precision, or when dealing with very strong gravitational fields, such as those found near extremely massive and dense objects, or at very close distances (such as Mercury's orbit around the sun).

Not entirerly correct. Simply put:
Newton's physics work here on earth just fine and have not been "superseded ".
Einstien answerd what happens to space-time in the presence of objects with large mass

No need to dumb things down. Newton law of universal gravity is only an approximation of the facts as we know them. It can't explain the orbit of Mercury for instance.

@giujohn,
You tried to 'correct' a Wikipedia quote by dumbing it down... all to clinch on to the validity of a theory of gravity contradicted by facts and superseded by another one (general relativity), which better fits the facts we have, but itself could be superseded by another theory tomorrow. That's the way of science.

Although, the idea that Newton's laws are perfectly correct for virtually all mechanical phenomena within our experience has never been contradicted by later science.

Your GPS wouldn't work without relativity. The time of the clocks on board those satellites is affected (slowed down) by their speed relative to earth.
