Default PHILIP BALL: Why General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics AreIncompatible

http://www.nature.com/news/2005/0503...s050328-8.html
Philip Ball: "In general relativity, there is no such thing as a
'universal time' that makes clocks tick at the same rate everywhere.
Instead, gravity makes clocks run at different rates in different
places. But quantum mechanics, which describes physical phenomena at
infinitesimally small scales, is meaningful only if time is universal;
if not, its equations make no sense."

Bravo Philip Ball! Note that the so-called "gravitational time
dilation" is an incomparable idiocy: the two clocks could experience
the same gravitational fields, that is, they are placed in identical
environments, and yet, if there is gravitational potential difference
between them, Divine Albert teaches that they run at different rates.
Divine Albert had to introduce the idiocy in order to camouflage his
own 1907 discovery that the speed of light varies with the
gravitational potential. He knew that, through the application of the
equivalence principle, "varies with the gravitational potential"
easily becomes "varies with the speed of the light source".
