Eight decades have passed since physicists realized that the theories of quantum mechanics and gravity don’t fit together, and the puzzle of how to combine the two remains unsolved. In the last few decades, researchers have pursued the problem in two separate programs — string theory and loop quantum gravity — that are widely considered incompatible by their practitioners. But now some scientists argue that joining forces is the way forward.

This has been known for a while.

Frankly it only makes sense.

an objects mass and gravity can warp space and even time if it is strong enough.
while they are not dependent on each other they are certainly connected.
