Theory of General Relativity proven 99.95% correct

Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity has been proved to be at least 99.95% correct.
An international research team led by Prof. Michael Kramer of the University of Manchester have been observing the only known pulsar binary system since it's discovery in 2003 and have used their observations to prove that Einstein's theory is correct with a margin for error of only 0.05%.
The observations of the binary pair's behaviour has put the theory through it's most rigorous tests yet and apparently leaves very little doubt that Einstein had it right after all!
Good news for all the nerds out there!
