My theory runs as follows:

Take two partcles, and measure the energy found in both if them and the space between them. It is my speculation that as they get closer, the energy in the space between them raises. It follows that with higher energy in a smaller area, the curvatureof spacetime would be warped, explaining the differance in expected values between quantum and relativity.

Basically im saying an oversight caused a math error.

I am not a quantum physicist and i only study it as a hobby, this is almost definitely not the actual solution

    But energy is quantized. By your explanation, distance should also be quantized as a consequence.

    Or distance might not be actually quantized, just that we can't place things in between like the pieces on a chess set.

    Is distance not quantized? It was my understanding that the planc length was the "grid size" of the universal array, so to speak.

    That being said, gravity as we detect it is not confirmed to be quantized, which is where the confusion comes in. That implies that there is a fundamental factor that is non quantized, possibly with other factors that may be quantized. What I'm getting at here is that while energy is definitely quantized, gravity may be a product of energy/distance, with distance being non quantized, resulting in non quantized gravity.
