Same origin: Quantum and GR from Riemannian geometry and Planck scale formalism

Sure, we see articles published that meet the general 'sniff' tests of referees, but I'm becoming completely despondent with the entire peer-review system. It's not like referees are paid a ton for their time - and that's the incentive to do so (and there aren't many who want to take up their time to do it). There are other 'issues' in the pub process, but moreover, there are mistakes that investigators make even unintentionally, but are enough to warrant retraction of the paper. We all must own our work. But I suppose I'm being too idealistic.
Given the current publication environment (don't think that journals like PNAS are immune either), things are going to fall through the cracks. However in this case, there was a gaping chasm in the process.

> [...] To link them, the researchers developed a mathematical framework that “Redefined the mass and charge of leptons (fundamental particles) in terms of the interactions between the energy of the field and the curvature of the spacetime.”
> “The obtained equation is covariant in space-time and invariant with respect to any Planck scale. Therefore, the constants of the universe can be reduced to only two quantities: Planck length and Planck time,” the researchers note.
