Modern physics looks like mathematical philosophy, and evolves through very expensive experiments in direction to religion, by Max Tegmark, to faith in existence of abstract concepts.
Steps of evolution are:
Religion - Philosophy - Science - Mathematical Philosophy - Religion.
Result of evolution of theoretical physics is Alphysics: faith in words, authorities, and big money.
First "spade" is: negative role of mathematics for evolution of physics. Abstract and symbolic nature of math, illusion of logicality of math - all of that push physics from reality to fantastic world.
Second "spade" is: usage of interpretation of experiments as the experimental proof of existence of abstract concepts. The most expensive experiment gives "the strongest evidence".
