How do we know Einstein has it right?

1.96K views

We constantly say that Einstein’s General and Special theories of relativity have passed many different tests, insenuating their accuracy.

Before Einsten, we tested Isaac Newton’s theories, which also passed with accuracy until Einstein came along.

What’s to say another Einstein/Newton comes along 200-300 years from now to dispute Einstein’s theories?

Is that even possible or are his theories grounded in certainty at this point?

That’s why it’s called theories and not facts. It’s impossible to test every single scenario with out current tech. Until that moment happens, it will be a theory. It will become fact once it’s proven true without a single doubt. Einstein can be proven wrong anytime. And that’s a good thing. New theories that replace current theories are always a huge leap in science.
