Ideally, they will be discovering, rather than inventing, new types of
particles (or other stuff) in the quest to understand the origin of reality
and the universe. As for changing the expected predicition, yes, they do
that a lot. I've done it too, on occasion, when predicting the behaviour of
programs I've written.
"Well, yeah, we *could* run it now to see, but it's just gonna crash
because this pointer is null."
[Runs it, and it doesn't crash, but instead prints out a bunch of zeros]
"Umm... hmm... Oh, right, yeah, that makes sense. 'Cause, see here, on
this line, we're using Java's auto-unboxing feature, and Integer object
references, when they're null, get converted to the primtive value '0'."
