In summary, the biggest unsolved problems in physics include the unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the origin of the universe, and the existence of parallel universes. These problems are considered unsolved because despite decades of research, there is no definitive answer. Scientists are using various approaches and techniques to try and solve these problems, such as conducting experiments and developing new theories. If these problems were to be solved, it could lead to a better understanding of the universe and potential technological advancements. It is difficult to predict when these problems will be solved, but scientists continue to make progress and advancements in these areas.
