Why can't they find out why no one has done anything interesting in theoretical physics in 50 years?

This stuff is lame in 2025.

Maybe review the last 25 years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_fundamental_physic...

If you want mind-expandingly interesting theoretical physics, give the Wolfram Physics Project[1] a look. It is a refreshingly different look at fundamental physics, and one that is perhaps more familiar to a computer scientist's perspective than, say, quantum mechanics.
