I want to give a little perspective here. For centuries, the world of science and physics was dominated by Newton's gravitational principles. Yet, nobody could make sense of Mercury's movement around the sun, which moves in an elliptical path. Then came Einstein with his theory of gravity called the General Theory of Relativity, which predicted, explained and made sense of Mercury's movement. It was through the elliptical path of Mercury that Einstein confirmed his theory's accuracy. Once one understood Einstein's theory, Mercury's anomalous movement made all........
