Things That Make You Go, "Hmmmm......"

Is general relativity really compatible with quantum physics, or its competing theories?

I have heard that the two do not mesh well in specific applications, yet Einstein seems to continually be being proven correct.

Forget all that and just believe in Murphy's Law...

There's something called the grand unified theory that would unite quantum physics with classical physics. Hasn't happened yet.

Quantum physics is at the quantum level and classical outside of it. Quantum physics does some head scratching things if you look at it from the classical physics angle. Einstein had a hand in the development of quantum physics but had a battle with Niels Bohr on whether it was complete or not, you might have heard of the Copenhagen interpretation. Hence the EPR paradox but that seems to be settled with Bell's inequality.

There's still a few things missing to complete it so you hear about theories like string theory and loop quantum gravity,

My IQ points have just risen by 11 after reading your reply. ;)(y)

Yes. I remember when George Takei did some math and came up with something like "Divided by an Infinity of zeros as the demominator" or simply put he said "Using regular math, this makes no sense." Or something.

I think it is interesting that we keep discovering things like anti-corpendial waves (???) behave exactly like the theories would predict.. but, I am fuzzy on this, I do remember them being "not compatible with each other." (Above and beyond the "If someone shines a flashlight on a moving train," isnt it that in that localized environment, everything is the same speed, so no paradox exists, I am very rusty on this.)

Didnt some think Einstein was using other people's work, much like Shakespeare? That would make me go Hmmmm, as well.

Some of the main things in quantum mechanics that are head scratchers is quantum entanglement, zero point energy, Casimir effect, quantum tunneling, superposition, etc.

I met someone once whose last name was Casimir, I refrained from asking her if she was familiar with her namesake, the Casimir effect.

If traveling faster than speed of light, or otherwise eschewing the effects of mass as per UFOs, that is 10.9999999999996 IQ points...
You can't travel faster than the speed of light, but the universe overall is expanding and there are are galaxies so far away that the space between them is expanding faster than you can actually go there even at the speed of light due to dark energy. Basically you bake a loaf of bread and the two ends of the loaf expand away from each other and the distance becomes so great at some point that you can never reach the other end even at the speed of light.
