I am not an expert, but, from listening to physicists and reading popular works, I thought they generally agreed that physics was radically incomplete.
For instance, the two most powerful physical theories, Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, contradict each other. Quantum mechanics has no explanation for what the collapse of the wave function means (it's really QM + Collapse) and it cannot account for gravity. General relativity, by contrast, assumes continuous space (which is incompatible with quantization) which leads it to predict point singularities (which is incompatible with the uncertainty principle and the Planck limit for physical distance.)
As I said, I am ignorant, but someone more knowledgeable could expand on this.
