I'm still on special relativity, and haven't yet reached general relativity, but had a question in mind...
does the Newtonian description of Gravitational Potential Energy
[tex]U= -G \frac{M m}{R}[/tex]
fail for very strong gravitational fields?
or it only fails where curvature of space becomes evident?
