The standard model of physics is excellent, but incomplete because Quantum Physics and Relativity don't agree.
Quantum Physics is easier to understand if we think of subatomic particles as waves. Because of their wavy nature, it is hard to pinpoint their exact location, and the particles have some randomness to them.
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) says that subatomic particles are actually waves in invisible fields that exist everywhere. This is similar to photons being waves in the electromagnetic field.
The pilot wave theory is probably more complicated than it needs to be.
P.S. I get slightly annoyed when people say that there is no gravity in space. There is gravity everywhere. Objects in a stable orbit do not experience gravity because they are continuously falling toward the Earth, but their high velocity is enough to keep them at the same level.
The further away you get from massive objects then the less gravity you will experience, but gravity permeates the entire universe.
