What happens if Einstein was wrong ???

I don't know enough about it but if Gravity probe B (GP-B) proves certain predictions concerning General Relativity were a figment of Einstein's fertile imagination, then......it would probably lose the great man some cred, put a lot of clever people out of a job and make some people's life work irrelevant but what does it mean for the average man in the street and what are some of the far reaching implications stated in the following excerpt from the GP-B website???

free fall as in one of those planes that take a sudden dive so that the people in it and the observer appear to counter the effect of gravity so GP-b with it's suspended gyro's in effect has the characteristics of zero gravity and thus is able to make measurements of the warp effects on space time by a mass object without factoring in the effects of gravity......kinda like taking measurements in a plane dive that keeps divingI am so out of my league here but you should see me when i care. I look exactly the same, just words on a screen
