A theoretical Physicist cosmologist can test his theory with mathematical models. A sound cosmological theory will have a mathematical model that will confirm or disprove its possibility. If the mathematics determine that the theory is possible then a physical experiment can be designed to test the theory’s relationship to the real world.

One of the fundamental problems with modern physics IMO is that they are chasing down the 'string theory' rabbit hole. String theory isn't even wrong, and pretty much can't really be tested.

Pretty much my take on String Theory as well. I keep hoping that there will be a breakthrough one way or the other. Some smart guy/gal needs to find experimental confirmation that String Theory is the right track or, in some way, prove it isn't.
