Do I understand that they are claiming that they have found a way to explain General Relativity from quantum field theory. Are all other effects of General Relativity also explained by this quantum field theory. If not, it seems contradict General Relativity, if it only explains some of the effects that are predicted (and measured) by General Relativity.
