Mathematicians took over physics, made it into a trainwreck of mysticism, and this is what we have left over.

Physics IS math.
No mysticism about it.
Of course, to progressives and climate research “scientists”, math is indeed mystic.

In the new mathematical approach, the physical world is not a primary, but a derivative of a non-physical ideal platonic realm consisting of pure mathematics. Nature is a crystalized deduction from pure mathematical truths. Therefore the world we perceive is metaphysically inferior to the world of equations.
