Einstein was proven right yet again recently with the direct observations of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO... but that doesn't stop many scientists taking glee in trying to prove him wrong. Here I list 5 of the ways they're attempting to do so.

01:05 Where Have We Tested General Relativity?
02:10 Gravity Over Small Distances
03:52 Universal-sized Scales
04:47 Looking in Different Directions
05:34 Weak Gravity
06:00 Black Holes
