I did come across an article that does pose the question: Was Isaac Newtown’s research on gravity totally correct? The journal says “Recent gravitational measurements have deviated from the predictions based on Newton’s law, and now researchers who lowered a gravity meter down a mile-deep hole in Greenland ice sheet say their observations also disagree with theoretical calculations” (Pool, R. "Was Newton Wrong?" Science 241, no. 4867 (1988): 789-90. doi:10.1126/science.241.4867.789). Basically many scientist have thought to have found, through their own experiments, that there may be some holes in Newton theory. Not that its completely wrong just his calculations may not work entirely as he put it. This Greenland experiment is the first time that they have solid evidence that there may be points against it. They wanted to test gravitational changes at various depths, and after carefully testing compared it to other calculations. It was then they found their own test on gravity differed from Newton. While it’s not a done deal on whether on Newton was wrong, there has been a strong debate on its validity. It’s important to note this because while Newton was extremely intelligent, you do have to take into account the time he was in and no scientist work is infallible. Newton paved the way, but there is nothing to say that he can’t
