This unfortunalely is not the case. What Einstein did was create
a new formulation of mechanics that works better than Newtonian
Mechanics in some situations. When you don't fool around with
velocities close to the speed of light old Newton is fine. When
tested in areas, for example: the mass increase of electrons at
SLAC, Einsteins calculations prove very good. However, no how
many experiments confirm a law it only takes one differing
experiment to invalidate this law for those areas. Science
dosen't make the universe what it is. Science is an attempt to
predict what will happen based on previous observations of the
universe. Remember Clarke's law. You never know.
