> ...turned out to be correct What we have learned so far is that our theories and models are only correct up to our ability to precisely observe and measure. In that sense, Newtonian physics is still very much correct under a very wide set of circumstances, and as such amazingly useful. GR improves on that (adds precision) on what would be extreme cases for NP, but it is likely as correct as Newtonian laws are: up to a point. All this to say that "correct" is not the right term to use: many of the theories are simultaneously "correct" with sufficient constraints and a particular error range. What matters more is if they are useful in predicting behaviour, and that's where I like using "correct" instead (as above).
