What is it that RT can do and classical Newton mechanics cannot do? I see only these 3 things that are different between Newton and Einstein: 1) relativistic addition of velocities, ie. limiting speeds to c 2) time dilation depending on the intensity of the gravity field 3) blueshift of light rays due to gravitational attraction These can easily be added to Newtonian mechanics. Are there any other differences? Essentially there is only one difference between Newton and Einstein: The true implication of Newton's particle model of light according to which the speed of photons varies with both (1) the relative speed of the light source and the observer and (2) the gravitational potential, in Einstein's theory was replaced by two statements: (1) Wrong: The speed of light does NOT vary with the relative speed of the light source and the observer. (2) Contradictory: The speed of light does vary with the gravitational potential in accordance with Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2); also, the speed of light does not vary with the gravitational potential (is constant in a gravitational field); also, the speed of light does vary with the gravitational potential but not in accordance with Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2).
