Albert Einstein: "I consider it entirely possible that physics cannot
be based upon the field concept, that is on continuous structures.
Then nothing will remain of my whole castle in the air, including the
theory of gravitation, but also nothing of the rest of contemporary
physics."

And so AE realised that one of his babies (GR) which required continuous
structures, was incompatible with the other (QM) which revolved around
discontinuity.

But let's not keep trying to knock GR and QM off their separate pedestals -
they are wonderful theories within their own domains - but rather let's try
to build a pedestal big enough for two.
