Multiple Choice
How does relativity compare to Newtonian physics?
A) Relativity gives the same result as Newtonian physics when objects are moving slowly.
B) Relativity gives results that contradict many predictions of Newtonian physics, so we know the latter is incorrect.
C) Relativity must be better because it is a newer theory than Newtonian physics.
D) Newtonian physics and relativity make the same predictions, but it's easier to compute results using relativity.
E) Newtonian physics makes predictions that are at odds with certain observations, whereas relativity is consistent with those observations.
