Question

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.

Most of the time gravity seems to work the way Newton described it. Newton's rules explain a lot, from falling apples to most planets' orbits. But his laws don't work perfectly. In high-gravity zones, Newton's ideas don't jibe with what scientists observe. For example, Mercury's orbit—up close to the Sun—has a blip in it that Newton's laws can't explain.


Glitches like this one were the reason Einstein worked so hard at coming up with a new explanation. He wanted to account for everything. His ideas about curving space may sound bizarre, but they work! They took care of the gaps in Newton's theory and explained Mercury's orbit. They led scientists to predict shifting starlight and black holes. All of this is powerful evidence that Einstein was on to something.

1 Einstein developed his explanation of gravity

2. Newton developed laws of gravity

3. Scientists predicted black holes

Answer:

1. Newton developed his laws of gravity

2. Einstein developed his explanation of gravity.

3. Scientists predicted black holes.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano, the author describes the role of Sir Isaac Newton in science and how his theory and law of gravity were almost accurate and greatly helped the science community.

However, he also noted that in high-gravity zones, Newton's law does not tally with what is observed by scientists. With this in mind, Newton came up with a new explanation that worked.

Therefore, the order of events as they occur are:

1. Newton developed his laws of gravity

2. Einstein developed his explanation of gravity.

3. Scientists predicted black holes.
