Thanks for all the replies. My OP was not a question as such, but rather a query to the reality of a unified theory. I was watching a program on tv where a few scientists, including Prof. Hawkins, believed that a unified theory was not far away. But considering the differences in the structure of QM and GR, I was left wondering if this was actually attainable.
It may be that rather than one unified theory we could end up with two theories that can be crossed over. Like changing at Clapham!
The fact that one does not impinge its rules on the other may also be telling us that this is so.
