Hmm, are you saying that high Tc superconductivity, the Geiger-Marsden results falsifying the plum-pudding model, and the quantum Hall effect were predicted theoretically before they were discovered empirically? I thought that these were three of the more spectacular cases of unexpected experimental results that bore great theoretical fruit.

Possibly you intended to post your comment in reply to one of Jensson's comments rather than mine?

I accidentally read your comment the wrong way around -- sorry about that!

No worries!
