What is the conflict between General theory of relativity and Quantum theory?

[Chalnoth]

what type of object would be able to observe a singularity?

Anything that falls into the singularity.

Anything that falls into the singularity.

Singularities = infinite density (most likely in the form of energy, not in the form of matter since their is also infinite gravity, right?)

does energy make observations? what I'm getting at is that i don't think an "observer" of any kind that we are familiar with could exist at a singularity. could it?

certainly, i get that this is perplexing. perhaps that's the point (and it may not be "wrong"). *shrug*

Did you read the rest of my post?

Infinity is a mathematical concept, it doesn't make sense to use it in the real world, it is absurd. You can make 2+2=5, or pretty much anything you want using infinity.

Like I said in my previous post, if the center of a black hole was a singularity, then it would have infinite density, implying infinitesimal size. I something is infinitesimal, then it would have taken an infinite amount of time to get that way. Which is obviously impossible.

It's always possible to use a hypothetical point particle as an "observer", usually called a test particle. The behavior of all such test particles should be sensible, no matter their path. Claiming anything else would literally be nonsense.
