It doesn’t hurt that anyone who seriously questions the theory gets drummed out of the profession.

actually, that’s not really correct.
there are thousands of scientists and mathematicians trying to disprove, modify, or adapt Einstein’s theory to what has since been discovered about how the universe works (such as the various versions of quantum theory, etc.)
Indeed, Einstein himself perceived that his theory might be improvable, especially when quantum physics arose ...and he spent the rest of his life trying to improve his theory. There would’ve been nothing more pleasing to Einstein than to find a way to adapt his theory with quantum theory, or even to find a third way to make the two approaches compatible.
Today, Einstein’s theory works remarkably well, every time its tested... on visible or macro-scale phenomena. And, it makes intuitive sense.
At the same time, quantum theory works remarkably well on extremely small, microscopic/sub-atomic scales. It doesn’t make full intuitive sense, but as strange as it may seem.. it also pans out,... so far anyway, in its arena of the tiny...
perhaps the easiest way to access some of this information is to do a quick search for “Grand Unified Theory” or “Theory of Everything” ...or “quantum gravity” (which is what physicists have begun to call the missing link ....)
Best,
That's actually not true. The person who finds a crack in it will get a Nobel Prize.
