"Space-Time is a Mirage" - Will the Physics of Supermassive Black Holes Overthrow Einstein?

"Space-Time is a Mirage" - Will the Physics of Supermassive Black Holes Overthrow Einstein?: "Space-time that plastic fabric whose geometry can be changed by the gravity of stars, planets and matter - was born may be no more than a mirage, according to Peter Horava. Horava, who is at the University of California, Berkeley, wants to rip this fabric apart and set time and space free from one another in order to come up with a unified theory that reconciles the disparate worlds of quantum mechanics and gravity."
