How does the following brief
thought experiment fail to show that general relativity (GR) has a
major problem in regards to black holes?
The full thought experiment is in my blog post. The post claims
that GR violates its own equivalence principle at the horizon of a
black hole. The principle says that the laws of physics in any
sufficiently small, freely falling frame are the same as they are
in an inertial frame in an idealized, gravity-free universe. Here's...

Why does Quantum Mechanics not follow Einstein's
Theory of General Relativity? If that's completely true, [we know
that "The Higgs boson does not technically give
other particles mass. More precisely, the particle is a
quantized manifestation of a field (the Higgsfield)
that generates mass through its interaction with
other particles." ] will it follow the famous equation E=mc²?

subatomic particles.
c) The theory of special relativity applies only to very massive
objects.
d) Only the theory of special relativity includes gravity.

Can general relativity be completely described as a field in a
flat space? Can it be done already now or requires advances in
quantum gravity?

Question 9
One of the key early tests of Einstein's General Theory of
Relativity was
the bending of the path of starlight and resulting apparent
shift in the position of stars because of the Sun's mass.
