Newton Was Wrong: Scientists Dismiss Newton's Theory of Universal Gravity and Warn Einstein is Next

The theory of universal Gravity, that has been a landmark in Physics and has held true up until now, has been dismissed in the study of black holes.
Scientists have conducted research on a star known as 'S0-2'. This star is at its closest to the black hole Sagittarius A* that lies at the center of our Galaxy Milky way. It is located at a distance of 26,000 light years away from the Earth. The study has Completely ruled out, the Newton's law of gravitation. Not only this, scientists warn that Einstein's theory of general relativity may be the next.

According to the scientists “We can absolutely rule out Newton's Law of Gravity. Our Observations are consistent with Einstein's general theory of relativity. However his theory is definitely showing vulnerability. It cannot fully explain Gravity inside a black hole, and at some point we will need to move beyond Einstein theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains, what a black hole is.”
According to professor Andrea Ghez of the University of California, " Newton had the best description of gravity for a long time but it started to fray around the edges. And Einstein provided a more complete theory. Today we are seeing Einstein's theories starting to fray around the edges."
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, gravity is the curvature of space and time. The mass of the black hole Sagittarius A* present at the center of our Galaxy is unbelievably high in comparison to the mass of the Sun. The mass of this black hole is 4 million times more than the mass of the sun.
Scientists are studying the effect of gravitational pull of the black hole on the star S0-2 that is having mass 10 times more than that of the sun. This star orbits around the black hole in an elliptical path and takes 16 years to complete one revolution around it.
Because of this extremely high mass, the gravitational pull of black hole is so high that even the light cannot escape from it.
But the Studies have found that the star's light escaped The black hole's gravitational pull. This is, why Einstein's theory cannot fully explain, how the gravity works in and around the black hole.
Professor Andrea Ghez thinks, Einstein is right but the theory can fall apart too. According to him- Einstein is right, at least for now but We can absolutely rule out Newton's Law of Gravity.
