100 Years After Einstein's Relativity, We're Still Just Figuring Gravity Out

Ironically the tattoo in the image is the Newton's equation.

Which still is used and works even on cosmological scales.

Relativity is only really useful in certain scenarios, people still calculate the motions of stars and galaxies with Newtonian physics:)

Yes, but Newton's equation isn't relevant to the issues discussed in the article.

I'm sure everyone knows that here. :)

It's a perfectly fine limiting case of G + Λg = 8πT.

A minor point: it's "the Newton equation" or "Newton's equation", but not "the Newton's equation" (in the same way that one could write "the Eisenhower presidency" or "Eisenhower's presidency", but not "the Eisenhower's presidency").

I actually noticed the grammatical error but wasn't quite sure and too lazy to check. Thanks for pointing that in.

How terrifying that we might one day write of "the Donald's".
