For a VERY simple reason: Einstein's Theory explained experimental results perfectly, and no other theory did so. That is the basic nature of science.

Who wrote never accept fact until it is verified by a theory?
Arthur Eddington
What were Albert Einsteins accomplishments?
the theory of relativity & quantum mechanics.
What did people think of Albert Einstein?
After 1905 he was a respected physicist within the science community. After Arthur Eddington claimed, in 1919, that Einstein's general relativity theory was correct, Einstein became, literally overnight, the most famous scientist in the world.
What was Albert Einsteins theory to success?
Albert Einstein believed in the general worthiness of all people. In his eyes, a person is successful if they love others and themselves.
How did Albert Einsteins theory of relativity change the law of conservation of energy?
It made it less efficient and stated that it was more difficult to convert the thermal energy.
What is einsteins connection between his theory of relativity and the atomic bomb?
The Albert Einstein's personality itself. (He was one of the creator of atomic bomb and participated in the project Manhattan.)
What is an eddington concession?
Type your answer here... An Eddington Concession, named after Sir Arthur Eddington, is a rhetorical device in which Eddington "allowed" that experimental physicists could bungle their observations, and so a pet theory that contradicted them could be forgiven; further, he "allowed" that Maxwell's equations might aside to favor a pet theory. But, he said, if your theory goes against the second law of thermodynamics, there's nothing for it but to give it up in humiliation. he rhetorical construction was used by Eddington simply to underscore the unassailability of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It was not, in fact, agreeing that Maxwell or experimental observation should be set aside. Thus it was a false concession made for rhetorical purposes only, similar to a strawman argument. The name was given by Richard Dawkins, who can be seen speaking on the subject of "mining the Eddington concession"
How did Arthur Eddington prove Albert Einstein's theory of relativity?
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.
Why did arthur eddington prove alberts Einstein theory of relativity?
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.
Albert Einstein What was one special event that was a highlight in his life once famous?
One special event that was a highlight in Albert Einsteins' life was when a solar eclipse let British astronomers confirm the general theory of relativity.
What was einsteins most famous theory?
relativity
Who discovered black hole theory?
It was first proposed in 1783 by John Mitchell of the Royal Society and later "rediscovered" by Karl Schwarzschild as a possible result of Albert Einsteins theory of general relativity.
