Abstract

Description

We point out that the contentions of Chapline (astro-ph/0503200)[1] that (i) General Relativity (GR) is in conflict with Quantum Mechanics (QM) and (ii) GR fails even on macroscopic length scales are incorrect and based on (i) misunderstanding of GR and (ii) completely misconceived ``thought experiments''. Even without introduction of any QM, GR actually does not allow formation of any Event Horizon and is competent to figure out the actual nature of the supposed Black Hole candidates. The resultant picture is not in conflict with QM at all.
