Tracy, there is a solar constant too but even your Ogre agrees solar forces have gone through "lowered radiative output". Moreover, no one has yet to quote me saying or indicating that "laws" change so they are just playing semantics; but the interpretation of laws are modified and Einstein's expansion on Newton's Law of Gravity is a case in point.

What an interesting dictionary you have in your head.  Einstein did not "expand" Newton's Law of Gravity.  He radically altered the way we think about gravity by introducing a completely novel concept.

You'd get along better if you used words the way everyone else does.  Just saying.

Are you saying that Newton's laws or interpretations are not valid and why not?

"Let no one suppose, however, that the mighty work of Newton can really be superceded by relativity or any other theory. His great and lucid ideas will retain their unique significance for all time as the foundation of our whole modern conceptual structure in the sphere of natural philosophy" by Albert Einstein

“To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.” by Albert Einstein

Newton discovered all kinds of things much from scratch, including various laws. Einstein merely extended upon Newton's gravity.

I understand that you misread everything on purpose.  You think that it makes you look the martyr and that everyone is picking on you.  Well, you're right but not for the reasons you would like.  We're picking on you because you're dishonest.  The fact that you are obviously dishonest is lame and a blessing all at once.

So, for the lurkers it may help and the personal amusement it gives, you get response.  Your ego will far outlive your interest unless you come up with some substance.  But for now:

Um.  No.  They aren't ultimately the best answer, but that doesn't matter nor is it the point.

The point which you so obviously ignored was that you don't know the definition of "expand".  Secondarily, you also don't know the relationship between Newton's Law of Gravitation and Relativity.

It's really that simple.  Try to to get bogged down in obfuscation.  This is really about dictionaries.

Obfuscation.

You finish with the same mistake as you began.  Meaningless rambling between doesn't change the fact that you haven't grasped the argument.  Einstein didn't extend Newton's Law of Gravitation, he fundamentally changed our concept of gravity.

Try to address what was said.  Again, using words as others do will help you mightily.  Others have told you this as well.
