Read about the confirmation of gravitational waves.
This is shaking a 90 years debate on the unification of physics.

@CharlieZ But are the hypotheses in it testable?

Had been an hypotheses till 1995.
Confirmed then.
Now the unification based in quantum views is haves a hole of the size of the relativistic universe.

@CharlieZ Well I'll be.

@CharlieZ ? Try 2015 for the first detection of gravity waves.

This was the basis for the Nobel Prize in Physics being awarded to Kip Thorne et al.
I have no idea what you are trying to convey here...?

Perhaps you were thinking about General Relativity (GR), as a whole, which has been notoriously difficult to test in that many effects are quite small (in the neighborhood of the Earth, the Sun, and our Solar System); in fact, Einstein doubted that a signal as small as gravity waves could be detected.
[This is why Gravity Probe B was so important; see
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_B. This actually tested two different GR effects, which was a stroke of genius.]
