Fun pop quiz. Spot the physics theory hidden in Tables 1 to 3.
Unusual "off the wall" predictions that are not confirmed by observation and/or experiment are most welcome, helping to exclude particular theories.
Legend: Elementary Particles (1-state bits): 8 = (1 quark x 2 for antiparticle x 3 colors) + (1 lepton x 2 for antiparticle). 42 = (6 quarks x 2 for antiparticle x 3 colors) + (3 leptons x 2 for antiparticle) without counting mesons and neutrinos.
According to the "what have you done for me lately" criterion, spot the currently leading physics theory.
Hint: Try to successfully navigate past the repeated mantra that physics is the only science in which physical, logical and mathematical inconsistencies are "normal"; it is not.
