I beg to differ. You're right for the standard model. But there are other fields where this is not true. A few spring to mind: - Solid state physics. There are entire fields which are not understood theoretically such as high temperature superconductivity - Astronomy: dark matter and dark energy. There is no widely accepted theoretical model for both. Both where not predicted by any theory, either.
