Physicists have spent decades trying to reconcile general relativity (which explains gravity and large-scale structures) with quantum mechanics (which governs subatomic particles). The child's innocent "Why don't we have both?" perfectly captures the frustration of theoretical physicists who've burned through countless chalkboards and career-years attempting what seems like it should be simple. String theory, loop quantum gravity, causal set theory—all fancy ways of saying "we're still clueless." Meanwhile, this kid solved physics during taco night.
