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?

Newton was wrong about some things, but right about many others. We still use Newtonian mechanics today in a lot of contexts. Its not so much that Newton was wrong, more so that he was incomplete. Einstein added a lot more depth to the theories, specifically when things are really big (lots of gravity) or traveling really really fast (relativity). Einstein probably wont ever be proved wrong, but someone could come along and add more to his theories.
