Einstein probably heard something very similar. No, Newton showed us how it 
works. The idea of matter bending space was considered so ridiculous that it 
made him a laughing stock. Even later when when experimental data showed that 
his equations worked so well the general idea was still not accepted and he 
didn't get a Nobel Prize for it. The math also had to be revised several times 
to succeed where Newton's failed most obviously, to plot the orbit of Mercury 
and it still breaks down at the quantum level and inside black holes as Rich 
mentioned. The point being that science is always a work in progress.
