[It is entirely replaced. The math is easier at lower speeds, but it is never better to use. Check your facts. Newton has been verified as wrong. Relativity has not.]


I don't know where you're getting this from. Newtonian calculations are used routinely by engineers to get the correct solutions to practical problems all the time. In fact it's very rare for anyone to use relativistic calculations for any problem that isn't entirely hypothetical as it's never needed in everyday encounters with physics or engineering. I would suggest you check your facts before you post. Good night.

I suggest you read the article and look at the topic at hand before you post. This is not "everyday" physics. Shifting the subject doesn't prove a damn thing.
