It is shown that, with some reasonable assumptions, the theory of general relativity can be made compatible with quantum mechanics by using the field equations of general relativity to construct a Robertson-Walker metric for a quantum particle so that the line element of the particle can be transformed entirely to that of the Minkowski spacetime, which is assumed by a quantum observer, and the spacetime dynamics of the particle described by a Minkowski observer takes the form of quantum mechanics. Spacetime structure of a quantum particle may have either positive or negative curvature. However, in order to be describable using the familiar framework of quantum mechanics, the spacetime structure of a quantum particle must be "quantised" by an introduction of the imaginary number $i$. If a particle has a positive curvature then the quantisation is equivalent to turning the pseudo-Riemannian spacetime of the particle into a Riemannian spacetime. This means that it is assumed the particle is capable of measuring its temporal distance like its spatial distances. On the other hand, when a particle has a negative curvature and a negative energy density then quantising the spacetime structure of the particle is equivalent to viewing the particle as if it had a positive curvature and a positive energy density.
