…or that we’re inventing epicycles, again. Science is full of ideas that work out mathematically but were supplanted by a better model (epicycles) or refined when their predictions didn’t match reality (ethers). String theory could easily be that; we didn’t find super-symmetric pairs at the LHC. More epicycles are needed! |

Honestly I think this is even true of much of our current understanding of physics. People take it for granted that we've discovered some irrefutable facts, but there is so much we don't know and understand.
It's entirely possible while the math checks out currently for our theories, they could be way off in many ways.
