abstract
The tension, if not outright inconsistency, between quantum physics and general relativity is one of the great problems facing physics at the turn of the millennium. Most often, the problems arising in merging Einstein gravity and quantum physics are viewed as Planck scale issues (10^{19} GeV, 10^{-34} m, 10^{-45} s), and so safely beyond the reach of experiment. However, over the last few years it has become increasingly obvious that the difficulties are more widespread: There are already serious problems of deep and fundamental principle at the semi-classical level, and worse, certain classical systems (inspired by quantum physics, but in no sense quantum themselves) exhibit seriously pathological behaviour. One manifestation of these pathologies is in the so-called ``energy conditions'' of general relativity. Patching things up in the gravity sector opens gaping holes elsewhere; and some ``fixes'' are more radical than the problems they are supposed to cure.

Affine ANEC obstructs non-static flat and open FRW from being null geodesically complete while ANEC-satisfying, but allows explicit scalar-field realizations for closed FRW with NEC-respecting matter.
Boson stars in teleparallel gravity with nonminimal coupling show negative energy density and energy-condition violation in excited states, with EMRI waveforms potentially detectable by LISA.
Cosmic string networks are constrained to less than ~1% of the energy density using CMB+BAO+SN data, with some models preferring mildly negative densities but no Bayesian evidence favoring them over LambdaCDM.
Curvature conditions proposed for focal points of trapped submanifolds do not apply in general to codimensions higher than two, though they may for specific submanifolds.
Re-derivation of the constant-density star in isotropic coordinates produces a transparent metric and highlights under-appreciated special cases including pressure gravitating alone and naked singularities.
