Has Physics Gone Stale?

Here is the link to a very good commentary about the present state of physics,
a state of affairs which seems to be running out of steam.

Here are some brief excerpts:

Nothing is moving in the foundations of physics.

Experimentalists are just poking in the dark.

[The word,] Crisis is so optimistic. It raises the impression that theorists realized the error of their ways, that change is on the way, that they are waking up now and will abandon their flawed methodology. But I see no awakening.

Physicists knew about these two problems already in 1930s. And until the 1970s, they made great progress. But since then, theory development in the foundations of physics has stalled.

[End of excerpts]

My response is that science needs a new paradigm.
