They're trying to unify the stuff they understand less (nuclear forces, 
gravity) with their understanding of light. QED's theory matches 
experiment to 15 decimal places.

Of course, the "why does it do that" will (almost certainly) never be 
understood down to the lowest level. But the properties of light? Yeah, 
I don't think there's any inability to predict what light will do under 
various circumstances. Unless, of course, someone comes up with 
experimental evidence that doesn't fit, which is always a possibility.
