Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.

General Relativity can explain how objects curve space-time.

Newton Mechanics is a particular case of relativity.

The theory of general relativity of Einstein basically related the space-time and the mass of an object. This equivalence is represented in the field equation.

So we can say now that the mass of an object, our sun, for example, can curve the space-time around it. Newton talks about a gravity force but gravity is just the deformation of space-time.

Now, the newton mechanics work perfectly in the system when the speed is less than the speed of light and when masses are apreciables, but general relativity is a general theory that explains how massive objects interact with each other.
