   A contestation that I expected and that no one has made is this: if   
   General Relativity is wrong, why are its results more consistent with   
   observed phenomena than those of Newton's gravitation?   
      
   The answer is that the errors of RG are only conceptual, that is, they   
   only concern the presumed causes of gravity (space-time curvature   
   instead of forces) and not the excellent innovation that exposes   
   Newton's error.   
      
   For Newton, the mass M acts directly on the mass m (and this is wrong   
   but I will talk about it in the next specific discussion), while for   
   Einstein the mass M acts on the space around itself and the space   
   transmits this action (force) on the mass m (and this is correct).   
      
   I deliberately wrote space and not space-time.
