>Theoretical physics IMPLIES IN ITS NAME that it can't be confirmed.
Anon, I'm not a real doctor, but at least I can help you with this point.
To a layman, in everyday conversation, "theory" means "a wacky idea, supported by one person's need to feel like they understand something".
In science, however, a "theory" is an idea that is supported by the scientific community at large because it survives rigorous testing AND peer review, and ALSO fits well with other scientific knowledge.
By definition, it MUST be confirmed by experimental evidence.
In science, there's NO SUCH THING as "*just* a theory".
And all modern technology is based on scientific knowledge you hand-wave away because you confuse "scientific theory" with "just some bullshit they *want* you to believe".

>No such thing.
If intangible "social constructs" didn't exist, then there would be no such thing as car insurance, bank accounts, law or marriage.
