Here is a partial list of concepts, correlating quantum mechanics and general relativity, that you may wish to supplement or modify:

1. quantum <--> black hole
2. discreteness <--> singularity
3. phase space <--> spacetime
4. uncertainty <--> cosmic censorship
5. wavefunction collapse <--> gravitational collapse
6. probability <--> geometry
7. interference <--> dimensionality
8. action <--> interval
9. microverse <--> macroverse
10. least action <--> maximal separation
11. wavefunction <--> metric tensor
12. subjectivity <--> objectivity
13. complementarity <--> correspondence
14. duality <--> simultaneity

Do the above juxtapositions help to understand quantum gravity?

If not, how might this set of correlates be used?

Is a unified theory possible without such underlying dualities?

Have you at least any idea what you are talking about? I can not even begin with listing what's wrong with that...

I appreciate that you want to help bringing forth a greater understanding of QM/GR, but a bunch of juxtapositions is not going to help. This is physics, not poetry.

The impression I get is that you want to put together a bunch of words without even grasping fully what they mean. Do you even know what a duality is?
