when they first meet on the X Files, Fox Mulder compliments Dana Scully on her senior thesis exploring Einstein's theory of special relativity (the twin paradox), but notes that many of his investigations defy the laws of physics.
but which X-Files cases actually violate physics including general relativity?
general relativity permits wormholes and warp drives, so aliens could easily visit Earth.
general relativity permits time travel, violation of causality, and closed timelike loops.
and of course, general relativity permits government conspiracies with the Shadow Elite.
fanfic: recurring gag: Scully: "this technically doesn't defy the laws of modern physics", calling back to the initial meeting. along with general relativity, quantum mechanics also permits pretty bizarre stuff, albeit with astronomically low probability.
