| Quote | The biggest problem you have to deal with right away, Bill, is what keeps a 2E30 Kg object in orbit around a 6E24 Kg object, without violating Newtonian and Einsteinian physics which is already known beyond a shadow of a doubt to be true.
So you might want to start there, before you start worrying about harmonic series in hi-z cosmological objects. |
How can Newton and Einstein both be right? |
Newtonian physics is correct as far as it goes in this context. Einsteinian physics is a very, very minor correction to orbital mechanics at the distance and gravitation scales involved in the interaction between the earth and the sun.
Just because GTR extends Newtonian physics into regions of higher velocities, accelerations, and gravitational fields doesn't mean Newtonian physics gets tossed.
