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.

From "Perihelion precession of planetary orbits solved from quantum field theory" (2025) https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.14447 :

> Abstract: [...] We derive the perihelion precession of planetary orbits using quantum field theory extending the Standard Model to include gravity. Modeling the gravitational bound state of an electron via the Dirac equation of unified gravity [Rep. Prog. Phys. 88, 057802 (2025)], and taking the classical planetary state limit, we obtain orbital dynamics exhibiting a precession in agreement with general relativity. This demonstrates that key general relativistic effects in planetary motion can emerge directly from quantum field theory without invoking the geometric framework of general relativity.

Gravity of n-body planets from QFT, but not what else?

Where doesn't a QFT-extended or SQR or SQG or other Alternative Theory to GR correspond to real observations or to GR?
