Let's call a spade a spade

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".
