You got is spot on Bill it looks like it should but it is far from a science fact.

The most authoritive science on gravity being GR is completely linear.

Quantum gravity is one attempt to merge quantum mechanics with GR/SR the logic being something quantized fine enough can look linear like diagonal lines on your computer graphics screen which when you look closely are pixel quantized jaggies.

There are not many ways a quantized thing and a linear thing can merge assuming both are correct.

I should add that there was also a great deal of excitement when quantum electrodynamics (probably the most accurate and tested theory in science) was found to actually contained special relativity seamlessly within it. The only real conflict between SR and QM is the weird state of entanglement.

I should say there are stalwarts that agree that SR and QM give the same answer but QM is quantizing time for no apparent reason and QM time isn't even real time its a parameter. So they give the same answer but no idea as to why and you end up using Feynman's explaination "shut up and calculate".

So lets say that the merger of QM and SR remains topical to science from time to time.
