a whole new a deluge of inferred, theoretical particles created to help explain this branch of study

Strikes me a little like imaginary numbers such as j (square root of -1 if memory serves). To most people who never even dip a toe in such abstractions (now there's a mixed metaphor ) it's all completely and utterly useless and meaningless.

You just have to assume that these terms are useful to the scientists themselves; but sometimes I wonder. Can these terms/theoretical particles ever be uninvented? Can their existence be questioned?

If not, then I agree with the belligerent attitude that these wildly inventive blokes need to be compactified.
