Reciprocity, non locality and the double slit experiment

Hi
Noob question it might be a real stretch, I was going through the RS video tutorials again and noticed that the slide shown on the reciprocal origins at around 7 mins reminded me of the double slit experiement. I was wondering whether observations of physical universe and subsequent calculations or derivations thereof using spatial (coordinate s/t) and temporal (coordinate t/s) reference systems are in any way related to the difference (or gaping chasm if you prefer) between general relativity and quantum mechanics? It seems to relate to what Gopi is explaining on that lesson on local spatial coordinate points of origin being non local in temporal coordinate reference systems and light reflecting interference or coherent patterns depending on observation.
sort of like: when we detect the light at the slit, the 'information' attached to it is measured within spatial reference system giving the coherent pattern (relativistic) and when it's not detected the information aspect is left a variable and it goes all over the place in temporal coordinate space (quantum)?
