What is the Best Way Forward in Astrophysics?

In summary, astro physics is a branch of science that combines principles of physics and astronomy to study the physical properties and behavior of celestial objects in the universe. It differs from astronomy in that it focuses on the physical processes and laws of these objects. Astro physics research requires various inputs, including observational data and collaboration with other scientific fields. Some current areas of research include dark matter, galaxy formation, and exoplanets. Astro physics has also led to significant technological advancements and a better understanding of our place in the universe.

I can see the lack of input is frustrating, i too am so frustrated about the lack of testable results, but that is of no concern, so long as there exists a way forward, what is the way we should go?

What do you mean lack of input - it's the most observable science.
All those telescopes aren't just cool bits of engineering ( actually they are, but we let astrophysicts use them if they have clean hands! )
