Roll over Einstein: Law of physics challenged

One of modern physics' dirty little secret is that relativity and quantum mechanics are fundamentally incompatible. Relativity forbids FTL information transfer, while QM demands it. All the attempts to 'unify' these two pillars of modern physics involve metaphysical handwaving involving umpteen dimensions, parallel universes and other science-fictional nonsense.

I recently ran across this interesting video. While I don't buy their theory of the 'Electric universe', and they have a distinct new-agey feel to them, they do point out some issues with modern physics.

Very true. Which is why the Holy Grail of modern physics is to find the Theory of Everything. The theory that unites general relativity with quantum mechanics.

Though many of the most promiment scientists believe it is not possible to find it.

This is what this man is trying to do.
