Is Einstein's theory of relativity true? No, physicists know it is not true. It contradicts quantum mechanics. So the search is on for a better theory.

For anyone wondering, I think stripes1776 is talking about the "Theory of Everything". (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

My head starts to hurt when quantum mechanics is talked about. Anything beyond the level of pop sci books by Michio Kaku and I become a blithering idiot.

Theory of Everything (T.O.E.) is one way to think of the theory that will reconcile relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Yes, it's complicated and non-intuitive.
