The fundamental shift introduced by Einstein in his 1905 paper on special relativity is that the idea promoted by Newton that space and and time appear the same to all observers leads to paradoxes. The rather more complicated idea that the shape of space and rate at which time passes changes for observers in relative motion is the solution he presented. The experimental verifications of Einstein's theory are so prevalent that there is no controversy about it in the scientific community.
