Part 7/12:
While there is no shortage of theoretical solutions, the question remains as to which—if any—accurately reflects the workings of our universe. The incompatibility inherent in merging general relativity with quantum mechanics has left physicists grappling for answers. Oftentimes, to resolve inconsistencies between competing theories, researchers may discard certain assumptions. However, this line of reasoning produces multiple mathematically valid solutions without yielding one definitive understanding, resulting in ongoing debates and headlines without resolution.
