Newtonian physics still hold true in the Newtonian framework.

Not if your meter stick has fine enough gradations.

Einstein widen the framework, the scope, included more variables, and came up with mathematical explanations to include the new variables.

Einstein destroyed the objectively fixed universe that Newton's theories require. A universe in which time can pass at a different rate for one person than another, is not remotely the same universe Newton projected.

There could not be a more dramatic change in the behavior of the universe, as astronomical observation at large scale and distance verifies.

The point was it depends on the framework of observations. You don't use micrometer calipers when a meter stick is significant for your measurements.

Well, not exactly. Einstein actually preserved an objectively real universe, one which all observers could agree upon, notwithstanding the relativity of their motions and thus their perceptions of time. The Newtonian universe wouldn't have been proposed if it had been known that observers everywhere in the universe perceive the passage of time differently. Only relativity (a horribly named theory in my opinion) holds it all together.
