I realise that they predate me, but that doesn't make then correct. Also, I haven't noticed any "testable predictions" being tested, in all the years since it was published.
They are rigorously tested and correct mathematical ideas. Whether they turn out to be correct models of our physics is still an open question -...
That was my point - it's one thing to have good maths, but without evidence, it could be just fantasy in a mathematical form.
