Minor correction:  Physical theories cannot be proven, in principle.  All they
can have is support by observation.  GR has this support, and a lot of it.
But it is in no way a proof, because this is simply impossible.

And, moreover, it does not follow in any way that we have to accept GR
completely, as it is.  All what is required is to have some basic understanding
of what the mathematics of GR is about, how it is connected with observable
facts like clocks and so on.

In particular, one can reject completely the metaphysical interpretation of GR,
you know, all this spacetime babble.  All what one has to care about
is that one
is able to deliver a theory, which, in some limit, allows to make
similar predictions
about observable effects as GR, because this would allow the theory to survive
the confrontation with all those observations which agree with GR predictions.

This is what my ether theory http://ilja-schmelzer.de/gravity/ as well as my
ether interpretation of the  Einstein equations of GR
http://ilja-schmelzer.de/ether/ is doing.

Above do not contain anything behind a black hole horizon, so all this behind
the horizon is not necessary.

If some part of string math appears useful, one will find this out if one
develops the math one needs for the own theory.
