We're off into uncharted waters now. No real theories to test, this is more a hit and hope. A "lets see what's there" approach that may uncover something fascinating, which means something unexpected that turns current ideas on their heads.
But that gets less likely with every new discovery, the Higgs boson showed they were right about the standard model - the universe being made of a collection of small bits of stuff instead of the small bits of stuff being made of something else - but there are still a few gaps, like how does gravity fit in and what is dark matter. It also showed that a lot of ideas were wrong, like most string theory ideas. Maybe we;ll definitively prove that we live in a multiverse in which case they can pack it all away and go home as there won't be anything else to learn. Think of what they'd save on the electricity bill! Or maybe they will find something really astounding that gets some forgotten physicist a Nobel prize. I'm excited even if nobody else is.....
