Did Newton Predict Black Holes?

Показать описание
In physics, there exists two main theories of gravity: general relativity and Newtonian gravity. While Newton's theory works wonders in most cases, we know that it must break down at some point and should be replaced with general relativity.

General relativity predicts the existence of black holes: objects with such a strong gravitational pull that nothing can escape them once they pass the event horizon. But does Newton's theory secretly predict that black holes should exist?

John Michell predicted black holes (he called them 'dark stars') in 1783, way before Einstein was born, and even pondered how to find them. He also designed the machine Cavendish used to weigh the world. That guy was a genius.

Something I've noticed about the classical velocity term at 2:05 is that if you plug it into the lorrentz factor of special relativity, you get the general relativity term for gravitational time dilation.
I assume this also isn't a coincidence?

Light is affected by gravity this is guaranteed by both newtons law of gravity and Einstein‘s general theory of relativity,
In fact in all rigorous theories of gravity the bending of the passage of starlight is unavoidable

Big fan of green planets.
I take a non-realist stance that assigns less hope of any manmade theory of physics be close to ontologically true laws of nature. Even if one is hopeful, your definition of effective theory is quite broad.
In 5:50, I note c jumps from being speed of light to being a constant of distance on one slide. Something else if you're interested: There's no sounds of "child" in Schwarzschild. The "Schwarz" means "black" and "Schild" means "shield". Your Profs might not know better either, but the sound of it is quite different.
