</div>Minor correction: Physical theories cannot be proven, in principle. All they<br>
can have is support by observation. GR has this support, and a lot of it.<br>
But it is in no way a proof, because this is simply impossible.<br>
<br>
And, moreover, it does not follow in any way that we have to accept GR<br>
completely, as it is. All what is required is to have some basic understanding<br>
of what the mathematics of GR is about, how it is connected with observable<br>
facts like clocks and so on.<br>
<br>
In particular, one can reject completely the metaphysical interpretation of GR,<br>
you know, all this spacetime babble. All what one has to care about<br>
is that one<br>
is able to deliver a theory, which, in some limit, allows to make<br>
similar predictions<br>
about observable effects as GR, because this would allow the theory to survive<br>
the confrontation with all those observations which agree with GR predictions.<br>
<br>
This is what my ether theory <a href="http://ilja-schmelzer.de/gravity/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ilja-schmelzer.de/<wbr>gravity/</a> as well as my<br>
ether interpretation of the Einstein equations of GR<br>
<a href="http://ilja-schmelzer.de/ether/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ilja-schmelzer.de/<wbr>ether/</a> is doing.<br>
<br>
Above do not contain anything behind a black hole horizon, so all this behind<br>
the horizon is not necessary.<br>

<br>
</div>If some part of string math appears useful, one will find this out if one<br>
develops the math one needs for the own theory.<br>
