My impression is that Smolin has drawn on some Peircean ideas, such as
that of habits or laws evolving in nature, but that he is less Peircean
than he initially seems, what with Smolin's views on discrete space and
on the relationship between math and physics. - Best, Ben

There have been some that as you note could be tested. The big ones
though can’t although they do have problems - as often their
proponents fully admit. Lee Smolin for instance is pretty forthright
about the limits of Loop Quantum Gravity. Of course Smolin is quite
the Peircean so I’m biased towards him. <grin>
