I am here to report that the reasons QM and GR don’t like each other are:
Short answer: they are competing with each other
Long answer:
There is a term that appears in perhaps different forms in both sets of equations that is counted twice. This possibly involves a factor that one of them is multiplied by. That factor may be as Psy-Kosh said a question of flat space versus curved space.
The existence of that factor prevents cancellation or some other thing which gives us infinities.
First find that term and the factor and eliminate them from the equations. Recalculate the constants so that it is no longer necessary. Next make sure the constants are the same over both theories. Combine the final shape of both theories. The next step is critical:
If you still get infinities, make them go away. Relate the way you made them go away to that term and factor.

Oh, wow, whoops! I sometimes get lost in the maze of links here and forget that I’m not on the front page anymore.
Anyway, my post was mostly sarcastic. His post and Psy-Kosh’s are barely coherent, let alone well-defended, or so they appear to me. On the other hand, I figured I might as well ask, in case he was just explaining something legitimate really poorly.

You seem very confident about this, so I assume you have some kind of evidence to back it up?
What do you base that assumption on? :)
