We use Newtonian equations when quantum effects can be ignored because they are so small. So technically it would be wrong, but it's good enough for that certain problem.

Yes, I meant reversed gravity. Thanks for clearing that up.

what's a good programming language to learn?
spocktorwho replied to ecoli's topic in Computer Science
Don't start with Java. Java is an object-oriented language and is very complex. I wouldn't suggest it to start, but C and Python would be good starters. -
There's no such thing as anti-gravity. Gravity is a purely attractive force.

Did Issac Newton Ever See An Electron??
spocktorwho replied to Iwonderaboutthings's topic in Classical Physics
None of Newton's work had much (if any) to do with electrons, but he did predict that light was made of particles. -
1. To my understanding, only if it is a quantum particle, like an electron or a quark. 2. We don't know.
