Newton's laws have not had examples in real life that would nullify his laws, — god must be atheist
Newton's laws have been showed to work in special cases of the law that explained the 1918 experiment.What do you make of the 1919 eclipse that confirmed Einstein and disproved Newton? — fishfry
Thank you everyone for your responses. I would only like to know how Newton knew his laws are true. What were the experiments he performed? — Fernando Rios

Newton's laws have not had examples in real life that would nullify his laws, but CONCEPTUALLY they may happen — god must be atheist
You're wrong. It's not true that the statement, "Force equals mass times acceleration", is untrue. — S
In summary, Newton's laws boil down to f=ma. An enormous quantity of physical science has been developed by applying this simple mathematical law to different physical situations.

Descartes’ first two laws of nature: the first states “that each thing, as far as is in its power, always remains in the same state; and that consequently, when it is once moved, it always continues to move”, while the second holds that “all movement is, of itself, along straight lines” (these two would later be incorporated into Newton’s first law of motion)
"show they are true" can also be interpreted both ways..... Either empirical or axiomatic proof. I was saying that you can't prove newton's laws axiomatically in the same way you can prove that the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180. — khaled
