I was reading a book and it said that:
Can someone please explain me what did Newton mean by " we can send signals at infinite speed, and I don't find any relation between the instantaneous nature of G.Forces and "sending signals at infinite speed"... So what did Newton exactly mean?
"Later Einstein proved that Newton's Law Of Gravitation is not correct.As per Newton, Gravitational Forces are instantaneous in nature , and there will be great amount of change in forces due to all other things on an object if one moves it from one place to another, as a result, acoording to him , we can send signals at infinite speed.But as per Einstein, nothing could travel more than the velocity of light, there Newton was wrong.As per Einstein's Law Of Gravitation , everything having energy has mass , in a sense, that it is attracted to other things like it has got mass.Like light coming from other stars is deflected due to the pull of the sun"
