Did Einstein Disbelieve in General Relativity Geometry?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the claim that Albert Einstein did not believe in the concept of gravity causing spacetime curvature, as suggested in a paper referenced by a forum user. The user expresses confusion regarding Einstein's established ideas on general relativity, which fundamentally include spacetime curvature as a key principle. The thread was ultimately closed for moderation, indicating that the topic was deemed off-topic for the physics forum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity principles
  • Familiarity with spacetime curvature concepts
  • Knowledge of Einstein's contributions to physics
  • Ability to analyze historical scientific debates
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Einstein's original papers on general relativity
  • Explore the implications of spacetime curvature in modern physics
  • Investigate historical interpretations of Einstein's theories
  • Study critiques of general relativity and their historical context
USEFUL FOR

Historians of science, physics students, and anyone interested in the evolution of Einstein's theories and their interpretations.

I have read this paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1355219813000695 that the author try to said that einstein not believe that gravity is not cause the space time curvature. I want to know that this is true or not. Because when I have read about general relativity I always found that space time curvature was einstein idea.
