The Quantum Field Mystery Physicists Still Can’t Solve

Physics has a dirty secret. The most tested, most accurate theory in human history — the one that describes every electron, every atom, every force you've ever felt — is also catastrophically broken. It predicts empty space should contain enough energy to destroy the universe in an instant. It can't explain gravity. It can't account for ninety-five percent of everything that exists. We'll visit the vacuum that should have killed us all, the particle that might be its own antiparticle, and the math problem worth a million dollars that no one can crack.
