It's often stated that there is some kind of deep contradiction between quantum theory and relativity, so in an effort to add a comment here, I went off to google that, and found this: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/387/a-list-of-inconveniences-between-quantum-mechanics-and-general-relativity http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/387/a-list-of-inc... where there's a pretty comprehensive treatment of the question, from which I'm not even qualified to reliably pull a quote. In general, though, since reality is usually assumed to be consistent, at least for purposes of doing physics, any set physical theories which have mutually inconsistent consequences wouldn't normally be elevated to the status of "laws" since the immediate implication would be that one or more of them must be erroneous, right?
