Abstract
Inferences drawn from Einstein's theories are counterintuitive. Justifications for the theories are hand-wavy at best. Newton's law of gravitation and Coulomb's force law for electrostatics provide explanations for experimental "proof" of Einstein's theories that is not only less exotic, but a natural consequence of the inertial and electrostatic properties believed to be possessed by protons and electrons.
