Re: maybe einstein did tensors, but he did not partial differential equations for sure

Not really:

.... pretty long history on PDEs, dating back to the late 1700s.

therefore you need a computer in order to see what
happens

Not necessarily. For most "interesting" problems, yes.

how could einstein be sure on his paper when he
dident had any compucter at that time

A lot of people can visualize simply from the equations.

did he putted his students to do tha work for him
in order to see relativity in perspective tha right
way?

No but there were many that came to scoff, and ended up adding
significant bodies of work in support of relativity.

And I know you are just trolling again...
