This is actually a misconception about physics and science in general. Physics does not explain everything that exists. It only abstracts from reality and produces generalizations (laws and theories) and therefore is simplified compared with real-world scenarios or reality itself. Or in other words, physics is only our approximation or model of reality. The scientific laws and theories we have only cover reality partially. They don't fully explain them. And the fact that quantum mechanics deals with uncertainty reveals that nothing can actually be precisely predicted nor described nor fully explained.
