Quantum mechanics is no more treated as a black box than is gravity in either Newtonian theory or general relativity. Science has never tried to explain WHY things work the way they do, only to provide an explanation with predictive power as to HOW they work.

I don't quite understand. Doesn't trying to explain why things work imply understanding what the things actually are? How do mathematical predictive models differ from a black box approach? Neither know what things really are.
