I live in GR now and it would be sweet if he came here again.

What I would love to know is whether there is any way in GR to make time and space enter perfectly symmetrically into the equations (without the difference in sign)?

Modifications to gravity, on the other hand, are not natural; GR is the only really sensible effective field theory of long-distance gravity.

If GR is becoming "dated," as Howard speculates it might be, this would be the reason, at least in my view.

Now remember black holes come from General Relativity, where there already was no problem with “action at a distance” or a need for “force fields” (because remember, gravity is not a force in GR).

It would almost be nice if, in GR, there could somehow be a consensus to call each of these different properties currently being labelled “time” as something else entirely.

(And while I'm talking about it, hats off to Jesse Scoble (who we worked with at GoO and who was involved in GR's book) and Green Ronin for a fantastic job on the book, according to all reports.)

However, as you say, GR is really the best theory of gravity that we have (and something that would really surprise me to see change).

Also, these yam fries really got my mouth watering, although I've never been able to find yams in GR, so I guess I'll have to dream.
