Einstein at least according to main stream is responsible for the theory of relativity which is just a theory that best explains current observable relativistic effects of how time gravity and velocity are related to one another. This is just a theory and might end up being proved wrong but more likely an incomplete view of those relationships imo. Where the real meat would lie is understanding what ideas were being floated in the theoretical physics world of that time as i understand it relatively was being discussed by other scientists as a plausible theory and Einstein sort of wrapped it up and put a bow on it by filling in some gaps and inconsistencies along with writing the famously published paper on Special relativity where he establishes that either the speed of light or the passage of time must be held as a constant he just picked light because its arbitrary.

It's all relative bro
