    There may be some confusion with the principle of correspondence, as
    it's used also in philosophy.

    I meant this principle of correspondence, from quantum physics:

    Nobody ever needed Niels Bohr for that.
    (apart from it often being false)

    Formulated in 1923 by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, this principle is a distillation of the thought that had led him in the development of his
    atomic theory, an early form of quantum mechanics.

    Nonsense. Special relativity, 1905, and general relativity, 1915,
    had, and have no need for this Bohrian obscurantism with respect to
    the old quantum mechanics of 1923.
    (remember that the real quantum mechanics didn't start until 1925-26)

    Derivation of the non-relativistic limit of relativity
    is straightforward, and it is obviously in agreement
    with preceding theories, where applicable.

    Many GRT inconsistencies are well-known:

    1) the principle of correspondence is violated (the limiting transition
    to the case without gravitation cannot exist without introducing the
    artificial external conditions);

    2) the conservation laws are absent;

    3) the relativity of accelerations contradicts the experimental facts
    (rotating liquids under space conditions have the shape of ellipsoids,
    whereas non-rotating ones - the spherical shape);

    4) the singular solutions exist.
    (Usually, any theory is considered to be inapplicable in similar cases,
    but GRT for saving its "universal character" begins to construct
    fantastic pictures, such as black holes, Big Bang, etc.).

    Early in the 20th century, atomic physics was in turmoil. The results of experimentation presented a seemingly irrefutable picture of the atom:
    tiny electrically charged particles called electrons continuously moving
    in circles around an oppositely charged and extraordinarily dense
    nucleus. This picture was, however, impossible in terms of the known
    laws of classical physics, which predicted that such circulating
    electrons should radiate energy and spiral into the nucleus. Atoms,
    however, do not gradually lose energy and collapse.

    Bohr and others who tried to encompass the paradoxes of atomic phenomena
    in a new physical theory noted that the old physics had met all
    challenges until physicists began to examine the atom itself. Bohr
    reasoned that any new theory had to do more than describe atomic
    phenomena correctly; it must be applicable to conventional phenomena,
    too, in such a way that it would reproduce the old physics: this is the correspondence principle.

    The correspondence principle applies to other theories besides quantum theory. Thus, the mathematical formulations for the behavior of objects moving at exceedingly high speeds, described by relativity physics,
    reduce for low values of speed to the correct descriptions of the
    motions of daily experience.
    There is nothing exclusive to relativity for which relativity is valid.
    There is no need for relativistic corrections at high speeds. So, future theories can disregard it.

    It is said that a good theory conserves the successes of its
    predecessor. However, relativity has no success to conserve by a new
    theory. For example, it did not predict a doubling of the Newtonian
    deflection because it provides no mathematical or physics basis for
    inserting the number "2" in the equation.
