This might just not be possible at the current time. In 1899, there was an "experimental overhang" in physics -- results that could not be explained theoretically (Michelson-Morley, but also lots and lots of empirical material/spectroscopic properties that we could today calculate using quantum mechanics). The big problem in theoretical physics today is that unifying general relativity and quantum theory has no experimental results you could get at our technological level.
