'''''Quantum Mechanics from General Relativity''''' is a 1986 monograph by the theoretical physicist [[Mendel Sachs]], published by D. Reidel (Springer). Its full subtitle is ''An Approximation for a Theory of Inertia''.

==Overview==

Sachs argues that quantum mechanics is not fundamental but arises as a low-energy, linear approximation to a more basic, fully relativistic field theory rooted in general relativity. Building on his program of a unified field theory expressed in terms of quaternion/spinor factorizations of Einstein's equations, he derives quantum-mechanical results (including the formal apparatus usually taken as axiomatic) as limiting cases, and presents this as a resolution of the long-standing conflict between quantum theory and relativity in favour of the latter.

==About the author==

Mendel Sachs (1927–2012) was an American theoretical physicist and professor at the University at Buffalo, known for his field-theoretic unification program based on general relativity and for his writings on the conceptual foundations of physics. See also his ''[[Dialogues on Modern Physics]]''.
