Is Newton's Law of Gravity Still Accurate Despite Einstein's Discoveries?

[QUOTE="PeroK, post: 6350971, member: 493650"] Newton's law of gravity was shown [U]experimentally[/U] to be very precise (applied to the solar system, for example) before Einstein came along. One test of Einstein's theory was that it had to agree with the known experimental evidence of the solar system, for example. And, therefore, had to agree closely with Newton's theory in that case. If you come up with a quantum theory of gravity tomorrow, that won't change the motion of the planets. It would be a new way of predicting the same physical behaviour. [/QUOTE]
