A lot of physics nowadays has turned into untestable theories. Much of it is interesting but doesn't seem to really be going anywhere practical anytime soon.

Why haven't hospital gowns changed significantly since the early 1900s? I haven't been to a hospital in a long time. Are they still using those paper gowns that open in the back?

You had the ancient Greeks, the Arab Golden Age, then Copernicus, Gallileo, Newton, Maxwell, Faraday which lead to Einstein's Relativity and the explosion over quantum physics with Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, ect...
But ever since the mid 20th century, things have slowed down it seems.
Yes, we've discovered the Higgs Boson and Gravitational Waves but they were already theorized to exist long before so it didn't really increase understanding, only proved things. There're things like String Theory, M-Theory, other universes, simulation theory but those are all practically unprovable and untestable. They're more philosophical than science.
Right now, it is all about money.
