General relativity, the theory of gravity and spacetime, is equally
venerable.
Hmm... OK, but it does not really make sense. It divides by zero.
Indeed that is what black holes tries to do, and only quantum
mechanics seems to prevent of doing so (we hope).
It's only thought to be "wrong" (i.e. approximate) because to be
exact it would conflict with quantum mechanics.
Exactly.
