Dear Ms. Hossenfelder,

I hope this message finds you well! I’ve been following your work and I find your explanations of physics both fascinating and accessible. 

I’ve been curious about one thing: In your opinion, was Einstein right about everything, especially regarding relativity and gravity, or do you think there are areas where his theories might need revision?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

Best regards,
