Distinctions in Newtonian and Einsteinian orbits (Red is Newtonian orbit and blue is Einsteinian orbit. The black dot is a star.)
Differences in Newtonian and Einsteinian orbits (Red is Newtonian orbit and blue is Einsteinian orbit. The black dot is a star.)
This isn’t very enlightening. See [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/7yksj4/differences_in_newtonian_and_einsteinian_orbits/duhdjfg/) in original thread.
ELI5?
What is the point of the orbit rotating? They both meet at the tips regardless of the spinning, and the spinning of the orbit just makes it less realistic

The blue is soooo misleading
So who is right?
I guess it really is all…*relative*.
So the blue dot has a constant velocity? And the only way to explain it was a rotating orbit? But this was wrong and Einstein figured out that the red dot just increases in velocity as it got closer to the center star?
