This talk attempts to contribute to the discussion, and in part, answer,
the following questions: Does the equivalence principle hold for
antiparticles? Is general relativity compatible with quantum mechanics,
and if not, where are the limits of "compatibility"? What kind of
gravitational effects could be seen in high-precision spectroscopy, and
in g factor measurements, where the experimental accuracy is absolutely
stupendous? How can we couple the Dirac equation to curved space-times?
Can we observe gravitational, position-dependent effects in atomic
physics as opposed to g factor measurements, and would these lead to tiny
violations of the Einstein equivalence principle? The talk is based on
calculations reported in [Phys. Rev. A vol. 98, 032508 (2018)].
