I read about relativity and some people claim to be incomplete so what is the incompleteness.
No, General Relativity is not the only theory of gravity. There are other theories such as Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and modified theories of gravity like MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics).
The main principle of General Relativity is that gravity is not a force between masses, but rather it is a curvature of space and time caused by the presence of mass and energy.
One limitation of General Relativity is that it does not incorporate quantum mechanics, which is necessary to describe the behavior of particles at a very small scale. It also does not explain the phenomena of dark matter and dark energy.
Many scientists believe that General Relativity is incomplete because it has not been unified with quantum mechanics. It also does not provide a complete explanation for the behavior of the universe at a large scale.
The search for a theory of quantum gravity is the attempt to merge General Relativity with quantum mechanics in order to have a complete understanding of the behavior of the universe. This would help to resolve the discrepancies between General Relativity and quantum mechanics and provide a more comprehensive theory of gravity.
