How is ANYONE versed in the principles of science supposed to take physics seriously when some "physicists" don't even do experiments?

Math attempting to describe the structure of the universe is empty mental masturbation without empirical evidence regarding it's claims.

God tier: Experimentalists
Shit tier: Theoreticians

theoreticians give theories to experimentalists to experiment
experimentalists help validate the theory for theoreticians with successful experiments.
no tiers here. just mutual relationship

Except this mental masturbation has made some of the most accurate predictions sometimes decades before we had the ability to test them.

Then again the people who use it are probably engineers.

And we all know why they don't masturbate.

Ah, right, so the Theoreticians that discovered M-Theory did it so the Experimentalists can....oh wait..
