#[[Quantum entanglement]] near the [[event horizon]] of a [[black hole]] -- with one particle of the pair on one side, and other particle of the pair on the other side -- defies the Theory of Relativity.<ref>https://simonsfoundation.org/features/science-news/mathematics-and-physical-science/alice-and-bob-meet-the-wall-of-fire/</ref>  Relativity is a mathematical theory that does not permit any exceptions, just as arithmetic falls part if 2 times 2 is ever not equal to 4.
#:In response to the rebuttal on the other page, quantum mechanics contradicts and disproves relativity.  It's no consolation that relativity is approximately true at greater distances. Relativity is a mathematical theory that does not permit any exceptions.  It would be like saying that 2 times 2 is usually 4.  If 2 times 2 is ever not equal to 4, then arithmetic falls apart.

#:In response to the rebuttal on the other page, that is like saying that "2+2" is usually 4.  See the response to a similar point above.
