There is a black hole in Cygnus. There's a supermassive black hole (similar in many ways to the one in this movie), in Sagittarius, at the core of our galaxy. There are similar supermassive black holes at the center of most galaxies in the observable universe. This is a totally uncontroversial observational fact. But we knew about black holes through theory for over fifty years before we were able to detect any of these.

We knew about neutron stars, for decades, through theory, before anyone realized that the pulsars they were observing were neutron stars. I could give you a list of thousands of these things, each discovered through theory.

We knew about the big bang, through theory, for half a century before it was directly observed in the cosmic microwave background.

We predicted the Higgs boson, the top quark, the neutrino, dark matter, all through theory long before they were observed directly.

The planet Neptune was discovered through theory.

I promise you, people aren't just making shit up.
