Brian Greene: "For decades, however, the force of gravity stubbornly
resisted joining the fold. The problem was the very one that so
troubled Einstein: the disjunction between his own general relativity,
most relevant for extremely massive objects like stars and galaxies,
and quantum mechanics, the framework invoked by physics to deal with
exceptionally small objects like molecules and atoms and their
constituents. Time and again, attempts to merge the two theories
resulted in ill-defined mathematics, much like what happens on a
calculator if you try to divide one by zero. The display will flash an
error message, reprimanding you for misusing mathematics. The combined
equations of general relativity and quantum mechanics yield similar
problems. While the conflict rears its head only in environments that
are both extremely massive and exceptionally tiny -- black holes and
the Big Bang being two primary examples -- it tells of a FISSURE IN THE
VERY FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICS."

Suggestion: the FISSURE IN THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICS consists in
the 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 (v is the relative speed of the light source and the observer).
In the presence of a gravitational field, c'=c+v is replaced by an
equivalent (true) equation, c'=c(1+V/c^2), deduced by Einstein himself
in 1911 (V is the gravitational potential).

String theorists may disagree about the falsehood of c'=c and the
truth of c'=c+v and c'=c(1+V/c^2), but in any event they should
discuss (have discussed) the issue both explicitly and thoroughly.
