“contains the famous equation of E=MC²”
Not true, that equation does not appear in the theory of General Relativity or in any other of Einstein’s writings, but is in fact easily derived from another Einstein paper “Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content?”.
There are still only a handful of people that really understand what Einstein was all about.
His Theory of Relativity (ToR) is a case in point: You should suspect there's something basically wrong when observed phenomena don't fit what the theory says, and physicists keep having to come up with new “fixes” (like “Dark Matter”) to make the theory seem to work.
Prior to Einstein, physicists were starting to explore electrical/magnetic phenomena as the primary forces in the cosmos. While such adherents of an electrical-based universe fell out of favor after the bomb was invented, they never completely died out. Today, with “Relativity” having more and more trouble explaining what we see and measure, physicists are reexamining the electric theory. They're finding that it not only explains/predicts what the ToR does, but also nicely explains the nasty problems that plague Einstein's theory.
For those who say that math models reality, so there's no problem with a math-based theory:
Consider the bumblebee; all modern mathematical models of aerodynamics PROVE it cannot fly. However, the bumblebee, being ignorant of the mathematics of aerodynamics, flys merrily on its way!
His work is an affirmation that all cultures are of equal value.
