Best Answer

Lots of evidence from different experiments. For example, people who work with particle accelerators have to take the theory of relativity into account on a daily basis, because at high speeds, mass of the particles increases, and their mean lifetime (if they are unstable) increases.

When was einsteins theory of relativity published?

The theory of relativity is actually a conglomerate of two theories which Einstein theorized at different times. Special relativity was published in 1905 and changed the scientific world until some of the ideas could not hold up to scrutiny. It was then that Einstein published the theory of general relativity in 1916.

Who said newtons three laws are false according to space?

They're not false exactly, but become inaccurate and break down at high velocities (of the order of the speed of light). Einsteins theory of special relativity prooves this.
