You must be watching different physics research than me. I see a huge variety of crazy-ass physics proposed all the time. Unfortunately it all keeps turning out to be wrong.

The problem with physics these days is that no "sharp" new data is turning up. Instead of turning up a new family of particles in an accelerator, we find big invisible blobs of dark matter. We are getting loads of fascinating unexplained data, but there are few bright line tests that can use it to rule in or out new theories.
