Newtonian mechanics though inaccurate is understandable to most
We [tinw] believe that Newtonian gravity is the best description of what
happens. Your lab experiment is limited by your equipment and your
understanding of what you are observing.
A new theory which matches the previous predictions and makes new
(sucessfully) testable ones will overhaul the old one. Until that happens we
[tinw] believe that the current theory is the *best*.
That is how science works.
I know. What you seem to omit is that the old method will still
continue to work within the range of the old measurements.
I get real annoyed when people say that Newtonian physics doesnt'
work. It does work with crude measurements of certain things.
I know what the scientists mean; but it's a bad form to use
because the cranks and the newbies do not know what they mean.

though for modern day engineering purposes it is
unreliable/inapplicable but
how many people/engineers are able to get an idea of what General
relativity really is about?
