Is the underlined protion above is correct ?
Or it should be "a form of matter that Albert Einstein predicted to exist "
The underlined portion is not correct.
The idiom is wrong: you don't
predict someone
to do something. You
predict that someone
will do something, or you
predicted that someone
would do something.
The meaning is strange. You can't predict that something will exist. It either exists, or it doesn't. You could predict the
discovery of something.
A word of advice:
