Abstract : Most people believe that time is continuous, but we assume the opposite is true; moreover, by modelling time as discrete, the rules and laws of nature can be efficiently described in a unitary 4D xyzt space [1,2]. In a previous article entitled 101 Authors Against Einstein [2], we presented scathing critiques of Albert Einstein's theories of relativity, explaining and proving how Einstein's SR and GR theories are fundamentally incomplete and misleading due to a poor understanding of the underlying universal laws of physics. We also assume that the main reason for Einstein's errors in general relativity is that he started from the mathematical Riemann space where time is a continuous scalar and inadequate to demonstrate the physical laws in the unitary 4D xyzt space [3,4]. In this article, we examine the link between the discretization of time, the universal laws of physics, and Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, demonstrating that [3,4,5]:  Special Relativity is a Special Case of General Relativity. Special relativity and general relativity form a single theory.  Einstein's Theory of Gravitation in 1915 Led to the Erroneous Conclusion that Gravity is Not a Force, but a Consequence of the Curvature of Space Time. We show that gravity is a real force that curves space-time, and not the other way around. We also present and define the rules and foundations of discrete time theory. Finally, it should be clarified that this article is not intended to diminish the achievements of the great Einstein, such as the discovery of the laser theory 50 years before its practical application, but rather to dispel any misconceptions about his theories if any.  Note: If you are Not Familiar with the Universal Laws of Physics, Please Stop Reading. This article is not intended for you.
