Quantum Mechanics. Most physicists currently believe they have description of the universe (though they currently admit 90% to 99% of the universe is in the form of "dark matter" of which they know nothing except it has gravitational attraction). You should realize in all of the science there are only descriptions of how things happen and nothing about why they happen. Newton gave us the formula for how gravity worked, and he made no hypotheses as to what gravity really was, or through what medium it worked, let alone why it worked. Indeed he did not believe in "action at a distance."
