How Did Einstein's Theory of Gravity Differ from Newton's?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Einstein replaced force with curvature of spacetime.
  • Newton's gravity acts instantly; Einstein's speed limit is light speed.
  • General relativity explains Mercury's orbit anomaly that Newton could not.
  • It predicts gravitational waves and black holes, absent in Newtonian theory.
