Or is it a radically different universe?

Different, in that Einstein's universe is a much closer description of reality than Newton's. But for nearly 300 years, the rough approximation of Newton's universe was sufficiently accurate that we were quite satisified; and it's still adequate for everyday purposes.

...and, of course, painfully inadequate for people who have instruments or metaphysical concerns that let them peek out beyond everyday purposes.
