In the discussion on Newton vs. Einstein regarding mass and special relativity, it is emphasized that nothing can exceed the speed of light, as established by Einstein's theory. Newtonian mechanics, while useful for certain problems, incorrectly assumes instantaneous action at a distance, which has been corrected by general relativity, where gravitational effects propagate at the speed of light. The concept of gravitons, associated with quantum field theory, does not imply they travel faster than light; rather, they also adhere to this universal speed limit. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the evolution of scientific theories rather than labeling earlier models as simply "wrong." Overall, the dialogue illustrates the complexities of reconciling Newtonian physics with modern relativistic and quantum theories.
