In chemistry, you are correct. In physics, not so much. It is amazing how much they are willing to sweep under the rug to be able to look the other way.
I might grant that. But how much of it will stand peer review. Especially where mathematics are concerned. And mathematics...well, I think God derived the function that we discovered as mathematics. And in M-Theory, we might be able to.... But even that depends on peer review as, again, the mathematics are so complex.
