The fact that the formal view of physics, that elementary particles are mathematical points, does not correspond with the ontological reality, indicates that there is an epistemological gap in physics.

According to the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, it is impossible to measure both the exact position and momentum of an elementary particle.
