Quantum gravity - Wikipedia Possibly the greatest unsolved mystery in physics. We know how gravity works on a large scale (thanks to Einstein) which is why we can predict the motion of planets, stars, and galaxies. But nobody really knows how gravity works on a small scale or how small of a scale the rules of gravity still apply. Figuring this out is the key to understand what actually happens in a black hole and possibly what happened before the big bang.
