Why we cannot have SR without GR, unless we get rid of acceleration.

QFT won't work outside of curved space. Now it may be true that we will
need discontinuities in GR for it to work, we cannot give up curved
space completely.

Now, I dare you to disprove this. John Baez is certainly NOT a crank.
There is nothing essentially invalid about accelerating rotating
frames.

There is also nothing incompatible between Gravity and Thermodynamics.
However, people's minds make them incompatible because they are unable
to use their imaginations. Or more importantly, use the imagination and
skill in physics to come up with a theory compatible with our
experiences.

BTW, the reason I say Gravity and Thermodyamics is because I can show
you what ideas had to be recociled.

There's Gravity, Reference frame invariance, Electromagnetism, and
Thermodynamics to be considered. No theory has all four of these
things.

If we want a TOE, we must open our minds.
