First, it's much older than the 70s, the foundational science that we "know" today hasn't changed in any foundational way in closer to a century.
While we are taught that if the observations do not match the theories, that the theory should be discarded. Instead, like with general relativity, as observations defy the theory, then new theories are added on to patch the foundational theory back together in order to explain the discrepancy.
Now we have 3 models of physics; astrophysics, newtonian, and quantum each of which are incompatible with the others.

I think that happened when quantum mechanics got its final form.

Exactly. Like the main goal is to preserve theories that selected as dogmas at any cost.
And if newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics are at least practically useful models, all that relativity, particle physics and cosmology even don't have any practical usefulness, but somehow specificaly that areas got most financing with condition to keep dogmas intact. That does not make any sense from the merit point of view, but perfectly fit an assumtion that elites do everything to stop any useful science and technology progress.
Now we have 3 models of physics; astrophysics, newtonian, and quantum each of which are incompatible with the others.
And numerous, sometimes nearly insane extensions like string theory with only goal to keep everyting unchanged.
