Theoretical Physics, physics employing mathematical models and
abstractions rather than experimental processes.

But the predictions are as often false as true, if not more so.

Not talking about theory, is your short-term memory so short that you
forgot we're talking about math constructs, or are you just trying to
get us off-track?
