Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis" in 1686. His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A scientific law doesn't "become" anything, yesterday or today. It's a simple mathematical expression of a law of nature.
