Newton Versus Einstein: The Way of Newton

When we wish to understand how the universe works, we need to start from the very beginning from the Greeks up through Newton, who gave us his magnum opus on motion and gravity. However, while it was a triumph, there were clouds on the horizon. Here, we learn all about Newton's formulation of Gravity. This is the seventh of the videos in my new series of Cosmology. I'm going through Dr. Barbara Ryden's textbook "Introduction to Cosmology". I used this textbook at William Paterson University. This course will cover the current state of the science of Cosmology. Here are the topics of this video: Introductory Cosmology Chapter 03: Newton versus Einstein Section 01: The Way of Newton Some things covered: The History of Gravity. What Exactly are the Forces of Nature? Euclidean Space and Time. I feign no hypotheses.... Testing the Equivalence Principle. Gauss' Law of Gravity. Deriving the Poisson Equation. Gravity's Formulation and Usage.
