Wonderful laws in the macro world? Sorry, I'll take the quantum world any day. Six quarks, six leptons, four forces(two of which are already unified). It is that simple.

Quik, maybe this will help. Large colliders like at fermilab or CERN collide particles every day. This would be extremely boring if these particles interacted the same way every time. So what causes some events to produce one type of particle and other events to produce something else? The particles don't know what they are going to form until it happens, similiarly, the particles don't know exactly where they are or what their velocity is until it is required. Eh, maybe it won't help so much.
