I disagree, Physicist have learned a ton on QM as well as the observable universe.
You are so right and here is part of that:
The nature of reality
The physics of nothing, everything,
and all the things in between
The physics of nothing, everything,
and all the things in between
Without pretending to understand everything theoretical physics tells us, should we not at least be interested in what reality really means? Instead many of us, in the US too many of us, are waiting for Armageddon, as predicted by old books, written by goat herders a long time ago.
I am against [Abrahamic] religion, because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
