The Concept of Gravity: Analyzing the Theories of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein

Gravity has long been an intriguing subject of debate and research in physics, particularly by Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein who contributed significantly to this conversation. Their studies of gravity as an invisible yet enormously impactful force on Earth were key focal points. This article seeks to delve into these theories further and shed light on all aspects of gravity's existence.

Understanding Gravity from Newton's Perspective

Isaac Newton first provided a quantitative description of gravity during the mid-17th century, superseding earlier attempts at understanding this natural phenomenon. Contrary to popular perception, Newton made significant contributions beyond anecdotes of an apple falling on his head; rather he created mathematical laws which dictated gravitational attraction between two entities, his formula showing that gravitational force depended upon both mass and distance between objects.

Newton's theory was fraught with dissatisfaction; he grappled with the absence of an identifiable mechanism linking two celestial bodies like the Moon and Sun gravitationally. While force exerted when lifting glass was palpable, gravitation was an unknown force; leading Newton to question its "action at a distance". Yet his equations proved instrumental in accurately predicting planet movements, comet collisions, solar eclipses, etc. Gravity appeared as some sort of force which seemed to govern these phenomena despite philosophical objections or philosophical objections from various philosophers alike; its apparent forceful function seemed as some sort of force at play despite philosophical objections regarding it's function as such force.

Einstein's Groundbreaking Theory of Gravity

Albert Einstein revolutionized gravity discourse with his groundbreaking theory in 1915. Einstein's interpretation of gravity differed dramatically from that of Newton; his beliefs included space-time unification as one entity: space-time.

Einstein proposed, upon merging his space-time concept and gravity theory, that gravity was simply an anomaly of space-time geometry, caused by massive celestial bodies such as stars or planets warping the fabric of space-time to draw objects towards them. According to this model, gravity was simply an indirect result of space-time geometry - even though his idea seemed unconventional at the time, its credibility has since been demonstrated many times over.

Einstein's Theorem Is An Incomplete Masterpiece

Einstein's revolutionary ideas, although widely respected, are widely recognized to contain flaws. As noted by Big Think, his theories collapse when applied to subatomic reality; as noted by Einstein's equations fail to describe gravity accurately at an atomic scale and predict unrealistic infinites. Such predictions do not indicate their actual existence but instead point out the inadequacy of his theory.

Researchers have attempted to create a theory of gravity that accounts for ultra-small objects. Their efforts have focused on electromagnetism and subatomic forces found within quantum realm, which have proven effective. As a result, any microscopic gravity theory informed by such successful theories has come to be known as "quantum gravity".

Gravity has long been studied with great intensity by prominent physicists such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, yet their theories only led to further questions arising in pursuit of understanding this fundamental force.
