An interesting but somewhat long article so I think it would be better to go to "On Gravity, Oreos and a Theory of Everything"

Einstein's relativity theory proven with the 'lead' of a pencil

Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new way to test Einstein's theory of relativity using the 'lead' of a pencil.

Until now it was only possible to test the theory by building expensive machinery or by studying stars in distant galaxies, but a team of British, Russian and Dutch scientists has now proven it can be done in the lab using an ultra-thin material called Graphene.

('bout time somebody got the lead out, heh heh.

No....the pencil broke.

Maybe there wasn't enough lead in it.

Well, in that case, get the lead out!

Einstein's 'Biggest Blunder'? New Supernovae Study Offers Tantalyzing Clues About Dark Energy

The genius of Albert Einstein, who added a "cosmological constant" to his equation for the expansion of the universe but later retracted it, may be vindicated by new research.
The enigmatic dark energy that drives the accelerating expansion of the universe behaves just like Einstein's famed cosmological constant, [...]
