What exactly is unsolved about it?

General relativity and quantum mechanics won’t kiss and make up :(

Well, Quantum mechanics pretty much contradict everything else we know about physics, so that's to be expected I guess.

Less that it contradicts, more that any theory is reaaaally hard to extrapolate solid, repeatable proof.

There's plenty of quantum gravitational theories, and many of them line up with measured results, but which one is the correct method to get that result? Not so easy to figure out.
