Einstein didn't prove the theory of relativity. It is a theory, a possible explanation, it is generally accepted because it explains a lot of things but that doesn't "prove" the theory, at least not to physicists.

No but others have.
He asked God.
You tell me.
In 1916
Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity while working as a patent clerk in Bern, Switzerland in 1905. He published his theory in a paper titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies." This groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
It is used to prove some of the statements used in Einstein's The general Theory of relativity
Einstein did not "prove" his postulates in the sense that he conducted tests to determine whether or not they fit experimental evidence. Instead, he wrote these postulates in his special theory of relativity while working as a patents clerk in Geneva in 1905 followed by the general theory in Germany in 1912. Both theories have been tested extensively over the decades, and no variance from either theory has ever been found. Indeed, GPS systems would not work if relativistic corrections were not added to their calculations. Thus, relativity is as established a part of our understanding of our Universe as is gravity.

Typically an astronaut wouldn't fear a wormhole because it is only a theory of quantum mechanics and was only developed to explain the supposed phenomena to prove how Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity was only in effect locally.
In November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his 1916 paper on his theory of gravity, general relativity. General relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton's more than 250 years earlier.It has never been proven, and it never will be. However, there is a vast amount of evidence consistent with it, and so far nothing has contradicted it either. Einstein didn't prove the theory -- he just created it.The above paragraph is not entirely correct. There is the Gravity Probe B experiment which should provide some conclusive results regarding proving the theory in the near future. See the following links for more information:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/gpb/index.htmlhttp://einstein.stanford.edu/highlights/status1.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_BThe atomic clock has proven his time dialation to be correct.
Like all good scientists, Eddington was interested in advancing knowledge through experimentation. General relativity made very specific predictions about what would be observed under certain conditions, and Eddington was one of many people who wanted to test whether these observations were true. When they turned out to be very close to what Einstein predicted, Eddington achieved what all good scientists do -- experimental test of a hypothesis.
Well, to clarify, Eddington proved one aspect of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Einstein predicted that light would actually be gravitationally "bent" when passing by a large body with powerful gravity. The only way to test this from earth was to observe a total eclipse with information beforehand of what stars would be visible near the sun at totality. If the light from those stars appeared "nearer" to the sun than it should have been during totality, it was the sun's gravity that was "bending" the light of those stars. Eddington's observations were accurate during the total eclipse of 1919, and it was accepted that he had proved that aspect of General Relativity. But there are many other aspects of General Relativity. Eddington proved oneof them.
