I meant actual fundamental physics, not the standard model, which is already known to be a (very good) approximation. There are some statements we can make which at least have the possibility of being exactly correct - the general form of the Schrodinger equation, General Relativity, conservation of momentum... that sort of thing.

As for truncated series etc, that fits exactly into the sort of approximation I was talking about.
