So, as what has been widely regarded as the best attempt at unifying the four forces or fundamental interactions, superstring theory produces equations that have a myriad solutions, does not provide predictions that can be tested by any conceivable experiments and treats spatial dimensions as if they are objects that can be curled up or compacted on the small scale, rather than just as relations that can be described of space,.
Then there's cosmic inflation that has seemed, at least, to be the only way of accounting for the large scale uniformity and structure of the universe, but requires that the early cosmos should apparently defy special relativity and accelerate in its expansion to faster than the speed of light and then decellerate again within a minute fraction of a second, and cammot be confirmed by any direct observation. And then the large scale structure of the observable universe also seems to depend on 90% of it consisting of invisible dark matter that has never been directly detected despite 20 years of careful experiment.
Could all these theoretical problems possibly be due to the fact that, whereas the effects of all the forces have been explained in terms of causes and their effects upon objects in motion, this is not so of the behaviour called wave, spin and entanglement that is described of objects in quantum mechanics?
So although quantum theory explains much about the properties of matter in terms of the behaviour of the subatomic parts of matter it does not fundamentally explain how any of this behaviour is possible like gravity explains the orbits of moons and planets.
Hence, you can conclude, the large problem of reconciling quantum theory with relativity. And, more profoundly, one can point out that only quantum wave, spin and entanglement describes behaviour of matter and energy that is of a certain form, while the world of atoms, molecules, living organisms and galaxies of stars and the universe of galaxy clusters and voids is all of a certain form.
Whereas the forces of gravity, electromagnetism and the force that results from physical contact all act with a continually varying strength of effect and so should only produce effects that continually vary and so should have no particular form . And you can ask how could matter in any form exist at all and remain in any form as the elements and compounds and while just the forces act just as their action has been measured and decribed?
So one could wonder whether to develop any workable universal theory enough details need to discovered and described of an invisible cause that acts universally in addition to and in a quite different way all the forces.

Well done!!!
You can't believe what you know to be true, you can only know what you know to true.

THEORY which part of this are you having difficulty understanding?
there is no such thing as a 'workable theory' workable theories in this extreme would be constued as a similar theoretical 'bring back to life the dead'
theory is a theatre of ideas and ideals not a workable practical arena...
Next I'll read about QUANTUM LEAPS.... another unmeasurable time period... ffs!
Hence I'll repeat "So one could wonder whether to develop any workable universal theory enough details need to discovered and described of an invisible cause that acts universally in addition to and in a quite different way all the forces."

It's about 17,500 words of serious science but with few technical terms.
...so think how an invisible cause would act universally and constantly so as to maintain or conserve the natural form and organisation of atoms, molecules and living organisms.
And think how such a cause would not act by pushing or pulling objects and so would have no measurable strength that could vary or cease with increasing distance like the forces that act at a distance or fundamental interactions, but would produce the effects of entanglement in quantum physics that can be described as non-local.
But then think how no measurement or mathematical formula could be used to describe the action of such a cause and effects upon objects in motion could never be directly detected. And how the vast majority of physicists still prefer interpretations of quantum physics where you can deny that non-local effects occur, or who can otherwise think that effects with no measurable strength would have no cause and especially if its action can't be described in any mathematical formula and produce effect that can be measured to occur at faster than thspeed of light.
So that's where physicists are stuck, with the wierd and unworkable theories of superstrings, oosmic inflation and dark matter: because they won't admit to a cause that acts no-locally so as to produce or maintan the natural organisation of matter and the energy it radiates, and can't justify or describe enough details of such a cause to show that and how it affects matter and energy without developing such an improbable general theory of natural organisation as that outlined at the blog that can be found by googling
