This is an introduction to and critique of Einstein's views on space, time and gravity. Einstein's views are rejected as ideology rather than science. His claim that time and space can dilate, expand or contract, resulted from his belief that this would resolve the Galileo/Maxwell dilemma and from his misunderstanding of the hypothesis that the speed of light cannot be increased or added to. His explanation of gravity as the bending of space is rejected and an alternative model of gravity is provided.
