General relativity also have problems ( dark energy and dark matter ).
Perhaps it is also just a model that works only for a limited system
and not for the universe as a whole, just like Newtonian mechanics.
The only different being that general relativity works for a somewhat
lager system than Newtonian mechanics. We are just a bunch of apes I
guess, and who knows if our brains even are capable of conceptualizing
how the universe works in reality. Our brains has evolved to survive
in our local environment on earth, not to understand how the universe
works as a whole. If we were no bigger than atoms I guess quantum
mechanics would seem very logical to us, but we are not quantum
beings, nor are we galactic beings.
