By changing the point definition, the technical problem may be approximately bypassed and a mathematical formulation of quantum geometry may be found. On the other hand, the conceptual problem comes from the quantum state collapse due to the observation since in presence of gravity the entanglement between the observer and gravity cannot be eliminated.
