All right. But note that both String Theory and Loop Gravity (the main
attempt to marry QM and GR) keep the quantum theory and changes the GR.
Note that the most weird aspect of the quantum have been verified, and
also that comp only predicts large feature of that weirdness.
(Note that QM should be completely false for coming back to aristotle,
making QM an approximation makes its weirdness more weird).
