How to Derive General Relativity From Nutons
If you're trying to figure out exactly how fast i dropped object from, lets say, 50 killimeters up, we'll be traveling by the time it t reaches the ground, you can't assume none point eight one metars per second squared. The ecceleration juwe to gravity, or gravitationall potential, at that hight of 50 killimeters, if you like, is certainly not nonpoint eight onemeters per second. One cannot be derived from the other. General relativity is not mearly a nemerical correction to nuton's theory. It's an entirely different way of invisaging what space, time, gravity is. If you want highly precise g p
