And we all know math has absolutely nothing to do with physical reality eh?

Modern physicists tend to understand math but not physics. They develop their
theories in mathematical terms, and explain them in mathematical terms, but
when asked to explain them in physical terms are unable to do so. This makes
them different from their more illustrious predecessors. For these modern
physicists, math has replaced reality, because they don't really understand
reality. They believe that if the math works, that's reality. Unfortunately,
there are infinitely many mathematical models that will work, but they don't
necessarily have anything to do with reality.

You won't be able to find anyone who can explain string theory without using
math. But Einstein could explain physics without math.
