You are right, but wouldn't the grand unification provide the framework to lead to the loftier conclusions/insights/ah-hahs? Or are you saying QM and relativity and thereby their presumed common denominator are currently entirely divorced from ontology?

Honestly I don't know. I haven't studied philosophy in any formal sense since the 101 course in college. Physicists differ on whether they are interested in philosophy at all.

Perhaps one way to think about it is: Are there different schools or beliefs within ontology, and would a unification of QM an GR help philosophers choose one of those schools from among the others, or develop a new school?
