The limits of present scientific explanation

Scientific research has found the material universe to be of a certain form and an intricate organisation on the small scale. Yet the standard model of modern science only describes push or pull forces as causes to explain how the universe is the way that it is. So that universally, the world appears to consists just of matter/energy and these forces.

Present physics describes matter and light and other energy as possessing a wave property that can be regarded as universal. Yet there is no sufficient cause and effect explanation of how this quantum wave occurs. While the question could be asked Does this quantum wave not need to exist for matter to be and remain in all its forms as atoms, molecules and living organisms?

So that matter is found to consist almost all of the space separating subatomic particles as its smallest parts, and it can be thought that matter could have no form at all without these component parts also possessing an extended wave property of behaviour.
