That’s the same excuse flat Earthers make. Yes every single observation made over the past 100 years could have been wrong and tomorrow we find out that all of quantum mechanics is wrong.
There are a near infinite number of variables involved, but if we knew every variable, we could solve it.
Take a single electron. You can’t define it’s position and motion (momentum) simultaneously. It is fundamentally unsolvable. There aren’t even hidden variables that we are unaware of. Bell’s inequality has been experimentally proven many times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

Ok, so electrons act weird, that’s strong evidence that we still havent completely figured them out. They defy our expectations based on what we know. There’s the possibility that there’s something else at play that we don’t know, and maybe cannot fathom. We don’t know what we don’t know.
