We say there can't be two theories of the universe. Scientists say that we need to arrive at a theory of everything. Quantum mechanics does well at describing the mechanics of the microcosm, but not at describing the macrocosm. General relativity does well at describing the macrocosm, but not the microcosm. Maybe this is because each theory is working at the upper and lower extremes of the third dimension. And quantum mechanics is looking at the border of the 2nd and third whereas general relativity is looking at the border of the third and fourth. Maybe the theories can work together because different dimensions abide by different laws.
This is all just my speculation, of course.

If you drop a sphere through a 2d plane, to a 2d observer, it would look like a small circle magically materializes out of thin air, starts to grow, then shrinks back down until it finally disappears.

It would look like an horizontal line growing then shrinking, don't you think ?
