Predictions fitting observations are not fantasy. 

Classic quantum chemistry prediction of mercury melting point has
 error 120 Deg C.
Relativistic quantum chemistry prediction has error 1 Deg C.
It is "fantasy becomes true" reality.

Physics  is about verification.
What cannot be verified lives  in *maybe* or *rather not* world
and not in *IS* world.
