Sooner or later any criminal Einsteinian realizes that the red herring called "incompatibility of general relativity and quantum mechanics" in fact camouflages the fatal contradiction between Einstein's 1905 false light postulate (c'=c) and the true equation c'=c+v given by Newton's emission theory of light, where v is the relative speed of the light source and the observer. Then the criminal Einsteinian metamorphoses into something that is criminal again but would survive if the world suddenly decides to get rid of Einstein's idiocies: http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_5.html John Baez: "One of the big problems in physics -- perhaps the biggest! -- is figuring out how our two current best theories fit together. On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which tries to explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum mechanics into account. On the other hand we have General Relativity, which tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics into account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track -- but until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or both, our picture of the world will be deeply schizophrenic......So, I eventually decided to quit working on quantum gravity."
