Quantum mechanics and general relativity are fundamentally incompatible because they rely on conflicting frameworks, notably regarding the treatment of time and spacetime at microscopic or high-energy scales.

The analysis

The claim that quantum mechanics and general relativity are fundamentally incompatible is well-supported by foundational physics and reflected in the retrieved literature (e.g., papers 4, 7, and 8), which discuss the difficulties of merging the two frameworks, such as the problem of time and the breakdown of general relativity at quantum scales.
