That's completely bogus. At "quantum levels", gravity is so weak compared to other forces present that nobody could devise an experiment to show how well it "works" in that domain, and nobody has ever said that it is incorrect.

Newtons' equations work just fine when determining the orbits of satellites and asteroids, so the Newton's equations can't be wrong.
You're just blowing past what I said about Mercury, that it's orbit was known to be anomalous way back in the nineteenth century.

3)You asked for a scientist that said the debate is over. I provided a name. What degree you have or do for a living is irrelevant.
You didn't name a scientist, but rather a historian. Then you tried to justify your claim by saying he had a degree in physics. I pointed out that I do as well, as do many who aren't thereby scientists.
