Modern Physics has uncovered astounding levels of complexity and structure in the very small universe. These pages might help you start to understand what physics has achieved.

These achievements came in part from predictions made by theroreticians who found patterns inside what had already been observed. They made suggestions to experimenters for where and how to look. Of course, some predictions were wrong, but the Standard Model represents an astonishing history of rapid success. (Remember, the neutron was only discovered in 1932)
