When Einstein was alive it seemed like a great deal of effort in physics was to mathematically explain the scientific observations that had consistently been made up until that time.

With Einstein gone, it seems like everything reversed and gradually greater effort has been put into experiments carefully crafted to confirm behavior of particles that have been discovered mathematically to begin with.

Experiments which are often not capable of doing anything else but confirmation of the phase that the target species is expected to exhibit going through. And sometimes the experiments eventually succeed, even if they are not as repeatable or reproducible as the math.

It's got to be more difficult than ever coming up with new particles in that environment, while nobody actually knows when the supply will be exhausted, or even if it might have happened quite some time ago ;)
