Maxwell’s Message to Theoreticians

“I have no reason to believe that the human intellect is able to weave a system of physics out of its own resources without experimental labour. Whenever the attempt has been made it has resulted in an unnatural and self-contradictory mass of rubbish.” James Clerk Maxwell

The physicists who justly deserve our admiration, like Einstein, provided definitive empirical predictions when they came down from the theoretical peaks. Lesser mortals, and fashionable hypesters, tend to offer pipe dreams that lack definitive predictions (string theory), have mobile “goal posts” (supersymmetry), or are just plain untestable (multiverse).

Remind anyone of the general trends of the last 40 years?
