+1 for mostly correct answer, but I don't like this phrasing: "Einstein's equations necessarily reduce to Newton's equations under specific, non-relativistic conditions". They don't reduce to them, the Einsteinian equations are approximated by the newtonian equations. It's just that the difference between relativity's predictions and Newtonian predictions is so remarkably tiny in these scenarios.
