Twin Stars Prove Einstein at Least 99.99% Right

Time after time, Einstein's predictions made by his General Theory of Relativity hold up under rigorous tests. Most recently, a team of astronomers tracked a pair of pulsars orbiting around one another for 16 years. With this many observations, the astronomers observed effects predicted by General Relativity with an accuracy of at least 99.99%. These pulsars orbit around each other every 147 minutes, pulling at each other and twisting up spacetime in a way that perfectly matches Einstein's mathematics.
