For centuries, science has relied on reductionism—the idea that reality is built from the bottom up. However, a massive, unexplained gap separating the particles we know from the ultimate fabric of spacetime is challenging this core principle. This “hierarchy problem” suggests that our universe may be finely tuned in a way that feels unnatural, forcing us to question our most basic assumptions.
