Actually, most physicists think Einstein had a very good guess, but not that he was right. Modern gravity and newtonian gravity are both aproximations of an meta thoery of gravity, in which we hope to tie together the other fundamental forces, the weak, the strong, and electromagnitism. We've got them all hooked together, all except mass/gravity. That's what the serach for the higgs bosson is about.
Personally I don't believe that there is a higgs boson, I belive that gravity can be approximated well with a constant flux of lightspeed moving, weakly interacting gravitons. They would have to be at least a third of the way to the order of planck scale for this to work, And there would have to be a veritable sea of them.
The reason I think this makes sence, is because that gravity seems to have a limited distance, something like the order of 20 parsecs I believe. (That's just a guess, I don't have any way to check up on refrence materials at the moment.) It also makes sence, because gravity is a repulsive force, and a quadrupole as well. This theorys curxcomes from the fact that it specifies much different sorts of gravity waves than quantum or string theory gravity predicts. Much weaker, you'd notice disturbances from being shadowed by highly massive binary, quickly orbiting stellar objects. The are a bit different from what other theories are looking for, so if they don't find any gravity waves in 2009 or 2011, then that throws more weight behind this theory. (Proving something exists before you know of it is a holy grail of theory making. It means your not wrong. Very not wrong.)
It's given that the theory I support isn't well accepted in most circles, but there is currently not much proof to the otherwise. It's just t hat string theory has a lot of money behind it, and peopled don't want to let go of their grants. Hell, my prof at the uni. is trying to prove some esoteric particles mathematical existance at the moement, and he doesn't trust string theory at all. But he had a nice grant, and he likes the math. He's not alone. String theory for most people is the best that's out there, and they try to roll with it.
String theory is physics when put into the hands of bored mathematicians. Sure, it's a nice playground, but it's not quite right.
