Does anyone else think Newton was wrong?

You're correct of course. That's why Einstein developped General Relativity. This is a new theory of gravity that corrected Newton's theory in those areas where it gave the wrong results, namely in the presence of *strong* fields.

Newton still gives the correct results (that is within the precision with which we can measure) for weak fields, but one has to use GR close to get Mercury's orbit correct or the gravity of black holes and binary pulsars.

Newton thought gravity acted like electricity, that is, an attractive force.

The way General Relativity describes gravity works better on the larger scale, but Newtonian Gravity still works on the small scale.

Newton wasn't necessarily wrong, just uninformed slightly.

Again, a cat avitar comes up with the right answer first.

We can divide the universe into a Newtonian scaled one and a relativistic one. OK, quantum as well, but leaving that aside...

At Newtonian scales it's still an extremely good approximation, as the difference in calculations from SR/GR is minimal.

It's only at relativistic scales involving high masses/energies/velocities that things start to come awry.

I hesitate to use the word "wrong"; SR/GR are likely equally "wrong" at quantum scales. Each is a useful theory within certain constraints, each being only a partial description of the universe.

Insufficient might be a better term.

"wrong" is much to strong a word. That would be like saying that I am wrong when I say that the distance between 2 cities is 100 km, when it is really 100.001 km. And Newton was much more correct than that, for practically everything that people could observe up to the late 19th century.

Even today, his formula are still correct and still used for 99.9999% of all applications. It's just that 1 time in a million, for things like high-precision orbits and atomic physics, that we need to use other formulas.

Certainly the General Relativity model of gravity works much better, as far as on a complete scale. But Newtonian Gravity works so well for non-relativistic scenarios, that we still use that model of gravity for numerous things.

Who knows, perhaps one day, you will uncover a better model of gravity than GR. But for now, those two are the best we have.

sure, he would desire to be incorrect, or merely misinterpreted, or it might desire to be that he became good, and his calculations in the international cooling type have been by some skill shown dazzling, and that credibility carried self assurance that an basic reversal of a few signs and indications (- to +, and so on) would desire to transform his findings to be utilized in international warming fashions. Isaac and Al? that is taking it somewhat a strategies i think of. Mathematicians and politicians merely paintings mutually whilst compelled to, oftentimes to the severe of being at gunpoint or the like LOL.

Au contraire, monsieur, I believe he was largely right. As much as anyone with such a limited understanding of physics could be. He did very well for his time.

You need to take some Physics courses.

Of course Newton was not wrong. He was approximate.

The accuracy of our space probes, which are based purely on Newtonian physics, proves him to be absolutely correct.
