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?

In a lot of laymen explanations of general relativity it is implied that the four dimensions of the space-time are equivalent, and we perceive time as different only because it is embedded in our human perception to do so. My question is: is that really how general relativity treats the 4 dimensions? If so - what are the implications (if any) this has on causality? If no - can the theory support more than one time dimension?
