Macroscopically, we now that when an object is at rest it stays at rest. When it moves, it keeps moving. Inertia controls this behavior. It is quite easy to see that when you do not move over a large enough distance, at a speed fast enough, or with enough mass, that inertia does not kick in. De formula is distance*speed*mass > hbar/2 or inertia refuses to work.(Heisenberg uncertainty equation). Thus, within those limits an object does pretty well what it likes. And since it has no inertia, *nothing* can be measured. Quantum mechanics is the study of what happens when these two worlds touch each other, as quantum mechanics deals with measurements, and observable quantities, which are on the inertial side. Relativity tells us that inertia is the most important measure in physics, as it influences all of physics. If inertia increases in our lab, all the clocks in the lab slow down, and we have absolutely no way of knowing how much increase there was, unless a colleague outside the lab with constant inertia tells us, by comparing his clock with ours. So, if inertia is removed from physics, what is left ? Reasoning along those lines makes that two worlds are irreconcilable, and the maths confirm this. Quantum gravity is an oxymoron. (I consider gravity as the gradient of the inertial field). So we have two worlds cleanly separated by the HUP : GR and Uncertainty, and Quantum mechanics where they interact.
