GR is false. You mean the one _without_ a continuous space-time or the one _with_? Einstein's "Relativity theory" has one _with_. Then how that works out with regards to formalisms like Riemann metric and "what tensors" is under-defined anyways: what with regards to "space-frames and frame-spaces", an actual _difference_ linear/rotational, real space-contraction, a fall-gravity, mass/energy relativistic equivalence as rotational, a vanishing yet non-zero cosmological constant, with regards to that Einstein's relativity theory is a theory with one negative stipulation: that motion is relative. Doesn't say anything about acceleration, either, then that the equivalence principle is another thing that varies in terms of there being absolute _space_ (GR). Where, at least there's a universal _time_. Don't get me wrong, I'm not so particularly attached to one or the other interpretation. These though seem best. Least action, .... Of course _mathematics_ is behind too, don't forget that foundations of _mathematics_ need improvement when looking to foundations of _physics_.
