Einstein was great but he is not the end all of science. Lets face it the guy dumped his wife and married his cousin. He is not perfect he just points the way. And he did a very good job of that but I for one hope that science does not stop and say "It's all been discovered, let's go home". It hasn't and laws of physics change as we discover new evidence.

And the lack of congruity between relativity and quantum theory in no way disproves either theory, it simply points to a transitional gap in our understanding; perhaps string theory, or perhaps something else yet to be tested.
