I agree. I think this is what most physicists accept. Though some
have tried to relate the two, I think...

Not according to Einstein.

I guess we're way off the Shadowrun subject, though. I must say
that the Dead Zones sound like a real kludge to me. On top of that,
games would surely bog down in arguments like `Hey, if physical law
X isn't operating, that also means ...'

Areas where _magic_ don't work are more arguable.
