GR Already In Trouble

because of Aspects ( and others) EPR experiments wherein it is proved that quantum mechanics is correct and General Relativity is not. However, GR is not threatened by water flow experiments.

The problem with GR is that gravity is replaced by the geometry of space-time. In effect, this says that the gravitational field does not exist. String theory on the other hand assumes that gravity and gravitons exist in space and time. String theory will therefore prove to be consistent with quantum theory.
