Quantum Field Theory: The framework behind the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear forces, along with particles like quarks, electrons, and photons. It’s probabilistic and excels at the subatomic level.
The problem? Gravity doesn’t play nice with quantum rules. At extreme scales—like near black holes or during the Big Bang—general relativity predicts singularities (infinite densities), while quantum mechanics demands finite, probabilistic outcomes. A Theory of Everything would resolve this clash, ideally explaining everything from the tiniest particles to the cosmos in one consistent language.
