# Will numerical relativity figure into either the phenomenology of quantum gravity or the construction of the theory?

It appears as though we want to preserve, in a theory of quantum gravity, the empirical data that GR has led to (and most of its structure, the specifics depending on the theory of QG, e.g., we might rid of background independence). Given that much of that (such as the late merger for a binary black hole coalescence) is given by numerical relativity and other frameworks, will such frameworks be used for probing or constructing quantum gravity?
