One of the greatest unresolved problems in physics is understanding how to unify quantum mechanics with relativity. Unifying quantum mechanics and relativity is further complicated by the unresolved measurement problem in quantum mechanics. However, the application of dialectics to interpret and understand the relevance of natural and physical phenomena is rapidly increasing. The central thesis of dialectics is its demonstration of how opposing states or parts synthesize together to create a greater whole. A dialectical approach makes three basic assumptions including that all things are interconnected, change  is constant and inevitable, and opposites can be integrated to form a closer approximation of the truth. As a methodology, dialectics can be employed  to explain the concept of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where a change in particles in one location changes the particles in another location, even when separated by a large distance. However, unifying quantum mechanics with relativity using dialectics has not been reported. The measurement problem in quantum mechanics remains unresolved. Contradictions between general relativity and quantum mechanics persist. The role of observer-dependent phenomena or emergent properties is not fully accounted for.  Therefore, we present a review of the principles and latest research on dialectics, providing key new insights into how quantum mechanics can be linked  and its relationship with relativity. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive and critical comparison of the most relevant unification and quantum theories, highlighting the major research gaps in existing literature and providing a direct link on how to answer those specific research questions. This review will help lay the groundwork for developing a more comprehensive framework that can describe phenomena across all  scales, from the subatomic to the cosmic. This unified understanding could lead to new insights into the nature of space, time, and matter, potentially unlocking advancements in fields such as quantum gravity, cosmology, and high-energy physics.
