Abstract
It is widely accepted by physicists and philosophers of physics alike that there are certain contexts in which general relativity will ``break down''. In such cases, one expects to need some as-yet undiscovered successor theory. This paper will discuss certain pathologies of general relativity that might be taken to signal that the theory is breaking down, and consider how one might expect a successor theory to do better. The upshot will be an unconventional interpretation of the ``Strong Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis''.
