Newton's law of gravity Force = Gm1 m2 / r^2, can be used to calculate the force that the universe as a whole exerts on a particle at its surface, provided a particle on the surface of a sphere containing the entire mass of the universe has a radius greater than 10^ 25 metres (it is currently 10^26 metres).Otherwise general relativity has to be used to calculate " force."
If the universe continues to expand, Newton's law will remain valid for such a calculation of the force of gravity in our universe.Are there any laws which lose their validity completely as time passes in the universe?
