Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining things from lasers and chemistry to the Higgs boson and the stability of matter. But physicists don’t know why. Or at least, if some of us think we know why, most others don’t agree.
Nice article on the history of quantum mechanics for its 100 year anniversary...
compared to other fields of physics, quantum is still a baby learning its steps, it will require at least 100 more years of research to get it to some understandable level, preferably more work on time, light and gravity

I think something like quantum mechanics is what you'd expect, if we live in a simulation.
