Is Quantum Gravity Simply the Result of Space-Time Curvature?

i know what it is, and why its searched for...but i have brought myself to a fairly simple answer, and would like to know why it is not a correct one. could quantum gravity not merely state that the reason for the distortion of particles into the qm description (partial-wave) is because of the ripples of gravitation (ie. curved space time). - this seems perfectly reasonable to me... does anyone else see what might be wrong with this ... or is it correct, just not exact enough to be considered fact just yet?

what do you mean by distortion of particles into the QM description?

i mean the very reason that they are not completely particulate, and that neither is a photon completely wavelike could be because of the shifting of spacetime, therefore making it seem as if these (particles) are indees moving with a partial wave themselves, when rather it is the gravitational waves that affect them in this way
 
aka- without gravitation of any sort... would the waves become less significant?
 
perhaps not... i may see my flaw, if i had a hold of a space station, and some very precese laser fluctuation readers then i could prove myself completely wrong I am willing to bet... ohh well
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I asked a question related to a table levitating but I am going to try to be specific about my question after one of the forum mentors stated I should make my question more specific (although I'm still not sure why one couldn't have asked if a table levitating is possible according to physics). Specifically, I am interested in knowing how much justification we have for an extreme low probability thermal fluctuation that results in a "miraculous" event compared to, say, a dice roll. Does a...
