Gravity Should Not Be Quantized Like Other Theories

Unlike quantum electrodynamics, gravity cannot be obtained by Dirac's recipe of starting with a classical theory and applying quantization rules—attempts always produce infinities or information loss—because quantum mechanics and gravity are so closely connected that separating them into 'classical theory' plus 'quantization' pulls them too far apart; gravity should instead be treated as quantum from the start.

they are so closely connected, so almost the same thing that the idea of quantizing one of them just it separates them too much
