The simplest answer
Theorem (Farah-Hirshberg-Vignati, 2018)Every C∗-algebras A of density character ℵ1 embeds into Q(H).
Moreover, the embedding is such that its restriction to eachseparable subalgebra of A can be lifted to an embedding intoB(H).
The Calkin algebra has density character (and size) c := 2ℵ0 , hencelarger C∗-algebras do not embed into it.If the Conitnuum Hypothesis (CH) holds, i.e. c = ℵ1, then:
1 all C∗-algebras whose size is less or equal than c embed intoQ(H), i.e. the Calkin algebra is universal,
2 the class E satisfies all ‘reasonable’ closure properties. Forinstance
⊗α<cQ(H) ∈ E .

CH is easy, real life is hard
Under PFA there is an abelian C∗-algebra of density character cwhich does not embed into Q(H). (Farah-Hirshberg-Vignati, 2018)
Theorem (Farah-Katsimpas-Vaccaro, 2018)The statement ‘Every C∗-algebra of density character (strictly) lessthan c embeds into the Calkin algebra’ is independent from ZFC.In particular, MA implies that such statement is true.
