Interestingly enough it's barely been a century now since Einstein questioned the theory of gravity and came up with something entirely different.

It wasn't "something entirely different." It was a refinement to handle some special cases for which Newton's theory proved inadequate. For most physics and engineering work, Newton's theory works fine, and is still used every day.

Alas, it’s Newton’s mathematics that works, but the universe is demonstrably more like Einstein’s picture than Newton’s.
