My reasoning is this:

We live in - for an anology - an apple universe! This means that everything we apply to understanding our universe involves apples! OK, a bit strange, but this seems the easiest way of explaining it.

So, our mathematic formulas are all geared to working with apples, and we get results that make sense and work with the observations that we see.
But, when we approach things like Black Holes and the very tiny we aren't using apples anymore, but - let us say - oranges.
Therefore the mathematics that we apply don't work because they can't - being callibrated to apples!
All we have to do is come up with the mango mathematics that can!
