That's a little harsh don't you think?

Actually, yes. Nothing can take away from Newton's incalculable contributions to science and mathematics. All I should have said is that on the one point where Einstein's theory of relativity contradicted Newton's theory of universal gravitation, Einstein has been proven right.

Much better, I did not know that Newton even address the speed which gravity operated. I find that very interesting. I suppose not address the speed implies instantaneous.
