Comment on Gravity

But of course you are right, there are absolutely things that can not be explained. It is (very probably) impossible to explain why our nature constants are the way they are or why forces act the way they do. The easiest answer to why they are the way they are is to say “They are this way, because if they would be a little bit different we could not ask this question”. This sentence implies, that we live in some form of a multiversum and that there are multiple universes existent (in which form doesn’t matter) but it is impossible to detect them.

No, there actually are explanations for the effects as they exist in mathematical models. The problem is we do not yet have one single model that matches both quantum effects like superposition and cosmic scale effects like gravity and dark matter/energy.
There is almost certainly some truth in those mathematical explanations, simply because it’s unlikely that something that is 99.99% provably correct has no truth associated with it.
The problem is, it needs to be 100%, with proven and confirmed experiments, not 99.99% correct, before scientists will call it a “solved” problem.
