Are there any examples in graphics where Newton's classical model of gravitation breaks down and we have to analyze a particular simulation using quantum equations?

@gowenong, there are instances in which Newton's classical model of gravitation breaks down. For example, Newton's theory of gravity predicts that the precession of Mercury's orbit is slower than it actually is, in which case Einstein's theory of General Relativity provides a more accurate model of this behavior. However, this change is very small and I guess for the purposes of this class, this level of precision is not required.

From what we learned a few slides ago about instability being a problem in particle simulation, what would an instable gravitational attraction system look like?
