here is the receipt.
the claim

Newton's law of gravitation is still used today.

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Newton's law of gravitation is still used today?

Yes. A reference work states Newton's law of gravitation still continues to be used today as an excellent approximation, and a popular astronomy book likewise says it is still used today. Other sources show the law being applied in simulations and classroom physics, partially supporting continued use.
