As I recall Einstein stopped at “Special Relativity”. AFAIK, General Relativity has yet to happen.

Many parts of general relativity was shown to be correct. Photos taken in the 1919 solar eclipse show that light is bent by a gravitational field. Also, GR, accurately accounts for the precession of Mercury which could not be explained by Newtonian mechanics. Finally, GPS has to account for GR to maintain accuracy.
