Unexplained physics today is primarily down to dark energy and dark matter.
The good news is that collectively they represent about 95% of the universe. So, that's a huge quantity of phenomena that we can't currently explain!
The bad news is that we have no local evidence for either; they only seem to have measurable effects over cosmic distances. So that implies that, even if we fully understand them, it's unlikely we will be able to harness the mechanisms to accomplish things at the scale of our civilization.
And--neither provides any evidence of FTL effects. So it's even less likely there is some amazing new form of FTL communication hiding in them.
