What are you talking about? What you posted is what I said?? Newtons laws were very good and are used as "excellant APPROXIMATIONS" AND RELATIVITY IS required only when there is a need for extreme precision. When you are sending rockets into outer space you need extreme precision and cannot you cannot use approximations. Same with many of the instruments they use. PS gravity slows down time and large masses bend space/time, Newton did not know any of that. >>read up! "Newton's law has since been superseded by Einstein's theory of general relativity, but it continues to be used as an excellent approximation of the effects of gravity. Relativity is only required when there is a need for extreme precision, or when dealing with gravitation for extremely massive and dense objects." "Quantum mechanics (QM), also known as quantum physics or quantum theory, is a branch of physics that provides a mathematical description of much of the particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter departing from classical mechanics at the atomic and subatomic scales" As far as I know moon and other planets are bit larger than atoms! As always you have your way with words and it seems like you have a lot of time on your hands to spew misinformation. As a homework, show me quantum equation for force required to move 1kg of mass from earth to mars, since you so strongly believe that is what is required.
