Did Hilbert Solve General Relativity?

Einstein returned to work, and by November, he had found the field equations which give General Relativity its final form. However, Hilbert also worked on the ideas Einstein had discussed with him and published a paper discussing how Einstein's theory fitted in with his own ideas on the role of mathematics in physics.

Who Solved general relativity?

Einstein Presents His Theory Publicly

In 1914, Einstein had already spent three years searching for the correct field equations that would complete his theory of gravity, geometry, and acceleration, known as general relativity. This theory explains how the force of gravity and acceleration are the same.

Did Einstein steal from Hilbert?

The dispute eventually became caustic. Einstein contended that Dr. Hilbert had stolen the theory after reading one of his papers, and some of Dr. Hilbert's supporters quietly suggested years later that it had actually been Einstein who committed plagiarism.
