I'm not an expert, but from what I understand GR and standard model don't exactly contradict each other, they are both considered "valid" and self-consistent on their own as they merely describe different processes on different scales?
On their own, they work just fine but if we try to stick the two of them together, to get a "unifying theory", we get different outcomes than we expected, that's why we are now trying to find the "glue" that fits the two of them together while still making sense in the end.
At least that's my layman's take on this whole situation.
I also don't know much about this. But I don't think there's anything serious yet that glues them together.
Years ago someone on slashdot made an attempt. It's silly humor.
Your moma so fat even if I'd entangle
with her no information would be able
to leave her event horizon.
Nobody has managed to put gravitation
and QM together yet, and you want to
do it in a your-momma-so-fat-joke? Wow.
