This still can't be true, special relativity has this same feature and is completely compatible with quantum mechanics. Also, GR is not completely incompatible- if you work in a weak field limit GR can in fact be quantized (which leads to gravitons).

Have you looked at that parametrized representation of a valid general relativistic physics problem I posted on physicsforums.com?
I sent you a private message discussing it to avoid dragging this thread too far off topic. Should we start a new thread?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
