one day someone may come along and disprove einsteins theories
but not if everyone quits probing for the real answer

You're not saying anything. How is gravity disproven by facts? Newton's Laws were not disproven by Einstein's theories. Take a f*cking physics course at the YMCA you ass.

I dont think anyone can say anything is law...

which einstein came up with in his Theory of Relativity

So why is Newton still taught? The problem is that it takes 4-5 years of math/physics background to fully understand Einsteins theory.

newton is taught as a 'special case,' to give people a basic understanding of the concept

but einsteins theory is the 'correct' one

so far

i might have a prob taking classes at the ymca

im female and already attended a private college

is the ymca where you went?
