Reality doesn't necessarily agree with its model though, so it makes sense to verify?

We model reality incorrectly all the time. A lot of math was wrong, too. So, it’s always good to test the models. In security, we also tested in normal, abnormal, and hostile environments.
Einstein’s relativity theory is a model that is quite fundamental, are there wrong parts of it as well? Asking not as challenge, more out of interest.
Yes, of course, 100 year old theories start to crack, because of all new data discovered recently, but we are far from a new theory to take it place.

Pilot wate theory is slowly move in, for example. In 20-50 years it may predict reality better in some cases than existing theories.
