Newtons ideas are called the law of gravitation?

Newton worked out a theory of gravitation which was modified by Einstein. He also described Optics and motion. Only one of his theories covers gravity.


When Einsteins theory of gravity general relativity gained acceptance it demonstrated that Newtons theory had been?

Incomplete and only a special case of a more fundamental theory. General relativity provided a more accurate description of gravity and was able to explain phenomena that Newton's theory could not, such as the bending of light around massive objects.


What are Isaac Newtons theories?

Isaac newton discovered the law of gravity.


What was the accpeted beleif about newtons theory of gravity?

Newton's theory of gravity, formulated in the late 17th century, posited that every mass attracts every other mass with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This gravitational force explained a wide range of phenomena, from the motion of planets to the behavior of objects on Earth, establishing a framework that dominated scientific understanding for over two centuries. Newton's theory was widely accepted for its predictive power and simplicity until it was later refined by Einstein's theory of general relativity in the early 20th century.


When Einstein theory of gravity gained acceptance it demostrated that Newtons theory had been incomplete why?

Einstein's Theory of Relativity proved Newton's was incomplete because at that time he lacked the precision to measure certain differences in planetary orbits. There were discrepancies that caused observations not to match Newton's theory. Tiny oddities in the orbits of planets that had puzzled Newton were clarified by Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
