Newton and Einstein are both correct, they are just interpreted quite wrong, through the ages. I base my knowledge of space and motion on Newton, though I full well realize Einstein's SRT and GRT have correct mesurements, as the measurement math's work. It's just too weak to have Einstein's work represent any model of completeness, as he used relative measurement in SRT, and coincidence in GRT, though his contributions to science are profound, as to quantum advances and E=MC^2. I say coincidence in GRT, as anyone could have stated the crossing point of gravity and acceleration, though the combination of the two theories can be the semi-grounding points of a new quantum cosmology. At the same time, I see little value in restating all his ideas as extra dimensions, when QM has already shown the connections and equivalances of magnetism and electricity. And further stating gravity to be the cosmological constant is false, if that's what you are saying. All the newest measurements show the constant to be 1.2*10^-8cm/s/s. That's far short of your 32ft/s/s.
If you read Lee Smolin's newest book, "The Trouble With Physics", and his friend's new book, "The End of Time" by Barbour, you will see all the newest physics, clearly laid out. From my reading, SRT, GRT, and all of QM are in for a bit of advancement. The newest ideas are perched to shatter many of our old ideas. Many experiments are now being set up to prove the varrying velocity of light. DSR has already been written, which is "Doubly Special Relativity", which stands for "Deformed Special Relativity." IMO, many of the newest ideas and experiments will have major consequences for all of srt, grt, and all of qm, including quantum gravity. Time will tell...
