This ties into this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/i-want-to-know-the-exact-problems-of-merging-gr-and-qm.939509/ , I would like to know SR/GR's opinion of QM/QFT. I need both sides of the story.
SR thinks that QFT is sexy, and when they have gone out he felt that she was made for him, they were so compatible. GR went out with her a couple of times too, but they didn’t hit it off so well.VIctor Medvil said:I would like to know SR/GR's opinion of QM/QFT.

Neither of them have tried to get anything going with QM, it would just be weird to try and date her and her daughter.
The relationship between SR/GR and QM is a topic of ongoing research and debate in the field of physics. While SR/GR describes the behavior of large-scale objects and gravitational forces, QM describes the behavior of subatomic particles and their interactions. Attempts to reconcile these two theories have led to the development of quantum field theory (QFT), which combines elements of both SR/GR and QM.
At present, there is no widely accepted unified theory of SR/GR and QM. While some physicists have proposed theories such as string theory and loop quantum gravity that attempt to reconcile these two frameworks, these theories have not yet been experimentally verified.
SR/GR has had a significant impact on our understanding of QM/QFT. For example, SR/GR predicts that time and space are relative and interconnected, which has led to the development of concepts such as spacetime and the curvature of space. These ideas have been incorporated into QFT, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the physical world.
QM/QFT has challenged some of the fundamental assumptions of SR/GR, such as the idea of a continuous and deterministic universe. QM/QFT suggests that at the subatomic level, particles behave in a probabilistic manner and can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This has led to ongoing discussions and debates about the nature of reality and the limitations of our current understanding of SR/GR.
While the theories of SR/GR and QM/QFT may seem abstract and removed from our daily experiences, they have had a profound impact on technology and our understanding of the world. For example, GPS systems rely on the principles of SR/GR to accurately calculate location and time, while QM/QFT has led to advancements in fields such as quantum computing and medical imaging.
