Emily and Tom continued to read, stopping to talk from time to time.
- Wait, so Newton was wrong? - Emily was surprised.
- Well, no, he was right about some things. His theory of gravity is correct on an earthly level, but not universal. For example, the Earth attracts us and we attract the Earth, he was right about that. But he said that every single thing in the universe was connected that way, which isn't true. It was believed to be that way for a very long time until Einstein came through and proved him wrong with Eddington.
- So what did they prove?
- They proved that really heavy objects in space bend the form of space. Imagine a stretched cloth with a bowling ball in the middle. That would be the sun. Now...actually, I can show you.
Tom ran around the library to get everything
