Hmm, the average scientific theory tends to hold up quite well for medium sized things, but when you start talking of very small things, very large things, very dense things, very large distances etc, current theorys fall over, and theorys like Quantum Mechanics makes more sense instead. (and some QM is REALLY REALLY weird)

Science really wants a General Theory of Everything, but at the moment that does not exist. Gravity is the big problem to solve. Nobody really knows what it is or how to encompass it in their theory.

Yeah, I like gravity, one of life's great mysteries; I had a feeling that it might be involved. I wonder what the universe would be like if it didn't exist. Since no-one knows what it is, who can tell.
