I assume you mean the idea of time dilation as proposed in his second theory of relativity where time slows down as an object's speed increases. This has been proved in several ways. Here are just three: Certain types of sub-atomic particles called mesons have a particular lifespan that is known and can be measured accurately in particle accelerators. Some mesons are produced in the upper atmosphere by particles there being bombarded by particles and waves found, for example, in the Solar Wind. Physicists know where these mesons are formed and they know the speed at which they travel. These mesons can be detected on the earth's surface but the point is that they shouldn't be able to be detected - they should have decayed long before. However, when the time dilation effect is appplied to them then the figures agree remarkably well - the mesons survive because for them, travelling at high velocity, time slows down and their lifespan increases to a stationary observer measuring them. Secondly, within particle accelerators, as certain particles are accelerated towards the speed of light, not only do their lifespans increase in exactly the amount predicted by Einstein, but also their mass increases in pproportion - again exactly in accordance with Einstein's predictions. Thirdly, during one of the Apollo missions an atomic clock was taken along in the spacecraft which was exactly synchronised with a second clock on earth. Atomic clocks are the most accurate timepieces in the world - accurate to one second in several thousand years. When the ship returned, the clocks were compared, and the clock on the ship was found to have slowed by a tiny fraction of a second. A tiny period of time indeed, but when investigated and put into Einstein's fomulae for time dilation, it was found that the slowing down agreed exactly with Einstein's prediction.

What is the heliocentic theory?

Galileo proposed the heliocentric theory that the Earth goes around the sun.Which can be proved by any aware person with a telescope.


When Einstein theory of gravity gained acceptance it demostrated that Newtons theory had been incomplete why?

Einstein's Theory of Relativity proved Newton's was incomplete because at that time he lacked the precision to measure certain differences in planetary orbits. There were discrepancies that caused observations not to match Newton's theory. Tiny oddities in the orbits of planets that had puzzled Newton were clarified by Einstein's Theory of Relativity.


Is Albert Einstein's theory proved wrong?

The general feeling among physicists now is that General relativity is an effective field theory. That is , it derives from a more fundamental theory like quantum gravity.


What is the theory?

The heliocentric theory is one which all planets revolve around the sun. Prior to this, there was a theory where all planets, including the sun, revolved around Earth. Galileo proved this theory to be false and proposed this heliocentric theory.
