Only the cutting edge of fundamental particle physics appears to be
"dead" as you put it. The "easy" problems were all resolved by the
middle of the last century and in subsequent years have been amply
verified by experiment. This includes parts of physics that you
despise like SR, GR and QED. Verified, re-verified and re-verified.
No grand conspiracy, just good science, despite your incorrect gut
feelings.

For the past four decades, theoreticians working in fundamental
particle physics have found themselves in a situation where experiment
is incapable of validating or definitively rejecting their theories
and speculations, and it is this unpleasant situation that
Hossenfelder describes.

Fundamental particle physics, however, is only a small part of the
entire field termed "Physics". Huge areas are vibrant with astounding
progress. Simply browse through any issue of Physics World or Physics
Today. The 2024 Nobel Prize was awarded to researchers in a subfield
of physics that didn't even exist four decades ago, which today
embodies a close collaboration between theory and experimental science
and technology, precisely the sort of collaboration which leads to
amazing progress in the field.
