Quote from: Eyawng te Klltepayu on February 21, 2011, 05:13:03 PMIt's an excellent approximation at the scale humans operate at. Voyager 2 was sent to Neptune using Newtonian physics.

Perhaps but had the probe travelled faster (admittedly much, much faster) it probably wouldn't, nevertheless the point I made is correct ... Newtonian physics has been superceded by relativistic and those, in turn, have largely been superceded by quantum physics.

Stephen Hawking. I love his books, they are easy to read, and tell you about other universes, as well as physics.
