Except for Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Approximations or not, scientists claim these work.
Your evidence for that claim, Mr Totallackey!
Any astronomer or cosmologist worth his salt knows that Kepler’s laws are only an approximation. I am neither and I know that!
Astronomy, KEPLER’S LAW
Kepler’s laws have an important place in the history of astronomy, cosmology, and science in general. They marked a key step in the revolution which moved the center of the universe from the Earth (geocentric cosmology) to the Sun (heliocentric), and they laid the foundation for the unification of heaven and earth, by Newton, a century later (before Newton the rules, or laws, which governed celestial phenomena were widely believed to be disconnected with those controlling things which happened on Earth; Newton showed – with his universal law of gravitation – that the same law rules both heaven and earth).
Although Kepler’s laws are only an approximation – they are exact, in classical physics, only for a planetary system of just one planet (and then the focus is the baricenter, not the Sun) – for systems in which one object dominates, mass-wise, they are a good approximation.

Like to try again?
You do seem to be ignoring those wise words from Mark Twain.
One who shall forever remain nameless said you were "the flat Earth version of an angry noob"! Keep it up.
No, I do not want to try again.
Kepler's Laws are exact, as your source states.
Incorrect!
Looks like among your many other failings you've forgotten how to read.
What do you think this means?
Although Kepler’s laws are only an approximation – they are exact, in classical physics, only for a planetary system of just one planet (and then the focus is the baricenter, not the Sun) – for systems in which one object dominates, mass-wise, they are a good approximation.
Kepler's Laws "are exact . . . . . . . only for a
planetary system of just one planet".
At last count the solar system had 8 planets, 5 named dwarf planets, probable 100 more dwarf planets, an uncountable number of asteroids, hundreds of thousands objects in the Kuiper Belt and periodic and random comets -
that's a few more than
one planet !
So, for an accurate simulation of the whole solar system
Kepler's Laws are not exact, just an approximation.
For example, the orbits of
Neptune and
Pluto do not obey Kepler's Laws. You could say that
Neptune and
Pluto "play leap-frog".
Also, you might find an accurate implementation of this simulation would need an awesome amount of computing power and all for nothing.
Care to restate your requirements. Kepler's laws are totally unnecessary as
Newton's Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation covers them and more.
