did newton make any mistake?

Answer 1

Yes.
For calculating the velo. of sound he took it to be an isothermal process.
the results thus obtained differed a lot from experimental values.
Actually it is an adiabatic process.

Answer 2

As long as you are looking at macroscopic bodies, Newton was correct. However, once you get to the very very small quantum level (e.g. electrons), Newtonian physics breaks down and quantum mechanics takes over.

Quantum mechanics basically says that matter is likely to have a particular velocity and mass but you cannot really be sure, rather you know what the probable values for mass and velocity are (ie the Heisenberg Uncertanty Principle). Once you get enough mass (ie anything that can be seen or touched), the probability that it will do anything other than what Newton predicts is approaching infinitely small.

Answer 3

Newton's discovery of the Universal Gravitational constant was no mistake. The Newton Gravity constant is really Universal.
Its veracity was proven by Einstein's General theory of Relativity in his Field Equation.
The proof Stems from Einstein's Field equation as follows;

Guv x C^4 /8 pi Tuv = G

Where Guv is the Space curvature Tensor measured in Units of per meters.
C is the velocity of light measured in meters per seconds.
Tuv is the tress Energy Tensor measured in units of force per meter.

"G" is none other than Isaac Newton's Universal Gravitational constant measured in units of inverse mass density per seconds square.

So it was Henry Cavendish that measured Newton's Gravity constant relative to masses on Earth.

However; it was really Einstein's Field equation that proved Newton's Gravitational Constant Universality. As you can see in the Field Equation outlined above.

Answer 4

Newton made crazy mistakes. He was a ******* alchemist for chrissakes!

You just don't hear about those things because we don't use them.

Answer 5

As others have said, he was socially inept. He didn't like people and people didn't like him. His ideas about space and time being absolutes were incorrect and he thought the inverse square law applied to everything. Even geniuses make mistakes.

Answer 6

No

Einstein's equations limit to newtons equations

Einstein's theory's were a refinement of newtons laws based on better technology and a knowledge of the implications of maxwell's equations for electromagnetism

..,.,.,.

Answer 7

Yes he died a virgin according to many historical records. In the very least there are no known encounters of him w/ any women throughout his life. Smartest dude in the world at that time, heralded as a genius and he can't get laid. Sounds like he dropped the ball SOMEWHERE!

Answer 8

Everyone makes mistakes.

Answer 9

Sitting down under that apple tree?

Answer 10

No , he did not make any mistake .
But why are saying so ???
