Physics is such a meme major in college, and in high school before that, they are so weak in maths and philosophical thinking, like really too weak and have almost no high level abstraction, how would such people put reality into a maths framework? there is a huge gap and people with surface level knoledge in many fields in maths cannot translate a thought into a formal axiomatic framework and conclude a clean theory

>They can theorize about what goes on beyond that all they want...
Implying that one of the infinitely many possible but unprovable theories isnt best suited for human understanding (or whatever maxim you choose)

A clean theory already exists to be fair, it's called the principle of least action. Every physical law can be derived by finding a proper functional and the conditions under which the first variation vanishes.

It used to be that physics and math were hand in hand. But certain (((people))) like Feynman spread the idea that math is a spook, while certain other (((people))) like Witten push their amateur math as undeniable physical truth.
