Gravity.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation was simple, but failed to explain motions like the precession of Mercury, so for greater accuracy we now use Einstein's Relativity. As relativity is incompatible with quantum physics we will probably eventually replace it with something more complex and more accurate.

Unless we just want an estimate, then we use the old simple one that's not quite right, but is close-enough.
