The Clash of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

The chapter delves into the conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity, discussing scenarios like inside a black hole or early universe where both theories are applicable but provide differing predictions. The conversation reflects on the belief that general relativity will be proven wrong eventually due to quantum mechanics, highlighting the subjective nature of scientific exploration and the lack of current evidence to disprove Einstein's theory. Despite the frustration of not being able to engineer scenarios to test them, there is optimism about finding creative ways to potentially reconcile these conflicting theories.
