general relativity is essentially a 'classical' field theory while quantum is not. Quantum theory has a quantization IMPOSED from the start, GR has none anywhere in the maths (although that's not to say there is none). GR is a system of equations with fields imbedded while QT is based on potentials. In this regard, the maths is entirely incompatible unless one transforms either GR to QT or viceversa via integrations or backwards via differentials; then one has to look at probability densities and convert either fields to probabilities, or vice versa. not an easy job.
how the equations of GR might be quantized is something I'm not allowed to discuss, otherwise mr moderator, integral will come done on me and spit the dummy! so i won't go there unless integral 'allows' me (?integral? pretty please?? sir??)
