And yet, that's all the point of theoretical science. To think in ways even if they are not provable at this time. And then experimental scientists come along, look at the theories and then think about how to experiment on them. That's how it works. And I think if they want to disprove any of this they need to show that this system is broken. I need to google but I'm sure everybody can remember hearing a few times in their life that there were scientists like Einstein who had ideas that could not be proven in their life time but could be proven now with modern computers and now we know they were true. We admire that and we need that. And that's the thesis they need to fight if they want to convince me of theoretical science being wrong or bad.

The point of science is to follow scientific method, which is, contrary to the popular opinion, not about piling up meaningless abstractions cemented by dogmas and wishful thinking, but throwing every possible objection to the hypothesis, finding controversions and inconsistencies with other aspects of reality, and only when it stands nevertheless, that hypothesis could be accepted as a current approximation to the truth. This "science" is as bad pile of nonsense as Hegelian "philosophy".
