Scientists tested the possibility of breaking Einstein's speed of light rule by examining high-energy gamma rays from distant cosmic sources. Their findings confirmed Einstein's predictions, setting tighter limits on potential violations of Lorentz invariance and advancing our understanding of fundamental physics, though the quest to unify quantum theory and gravity continues.

Albert Einstein, despite his groundbreaking contributions to physics, made several errors or had misconceptions, such as doubting the existence of gravitational waves and black holes, and attempting unification of forces without quantum mechanics. However, his willingness to revise his views and challenge established ideas significantly advanced scientific understanding, demonstrating his perceptive and cautious approach to exploring the universe.
