Scientists claim: Newton's law of gravity is 'wrong', now Einstein's turn

Most of our childhood was spent reading and learning Isaac Newton's Law of Gravity. Today, after more than 100 years of experiments and discoveries, scientists have declared that this theory was absolutely wrong and therefore rejected it. However, researchers still prefer to go with Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, even after their most extensive test near a black hole in the center of our galaxy.

Talking about the new findings, Andrea Gaze from the University of California said, "Einstein is right, at least for now. We can completely dismiss Newton's law of gravitation. Our observations of Einstein's general relativity are consistent with the principle ".

"However, his theory is definitely showing vulnerability," Gaze said, "It cannot fully explain the gravity inside a black hole, and at some point, we need a greater understanding of gravity beyond Einstein's theory. So there is a need to move towards a broad theory that explains what is a black hole?" 

Einstein, a German-born theoretical physicist with Newton, is considered to be one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is known for its influence on the philosophy of science. The scientist, who won the Nobel Prize for significant contribution in the field of physics in 1921, proposed for the first time that objects like Sun and Earth transform the geometry of spacetime.

Born in England, Newton is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and is a prominent figure in the scientific revolution. In addition to physical science, he made a significant contribution in the field of mathematics, astronomy, theology and literature.

Einstein's theory best describes how gravity works, said Gaze, who during his latest black hole study measured phenomenon near a supermassive black hole - what the research called "extreme astrophysics".

The laws of physics, including gravity, must be valid everywhere in the universe, a California professor said, adding that his research team is one of only two groups in the world that make a full orbit in three to see a star called S0-2 Dimensions surrounding the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Researchers also say that their work is the most detailed study ever done in the Einstein's theory of general relativity and a supermassive black hole. It takes 16 years to complete one revolution in its orbit, and the black hole's mass is about four million times more than the sun.

Einstein's theory of general relativity, tells that how gravity works on a larger scale in spacetime. The higher the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational force.

On the other hand, Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their mass and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
