I think it is important to keep in mind that theories can sometimes only become testable after sometimes unforeseen advances in technology. Consider the Higgs field, theorized in 1964 [1]. This field was only detected, via the Higgs boson, in 2012 [2]. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3] and its computing grid, which detected the Higgs boson, generated 25 PB of data per year, had 150 PB storage, and 200,000 processing cores [4] (which I assume were at least 1 GHz on average). In the 1960s, the Cray CDC 7600 supercomputer had a computing speed of 36.4 MHz and 65 kword memory [5], and IBM produced the 1311 HDD with about 12 MB storage [6]. Thus, the LHC required advances in fiber optic cables, a 5-million-times increase in computing over existing state-of-the-art processors, an 89-million-times increase in computer storage (from 12 MB to assuming 1 TB per HDD), and integrated-circuit RAM. More directly, the 1971 ISR hadron collider had energies of 31.5 GeV [7] compared to the LHC's 6.5 TeV [8], 200x increase. What other theories might become testable if we could reach 130 TeV, analyzed by a computing grid with 1 trillion processors and 1 yottabyte of storage?
