Most of your comment is ad hominem, which is consistent with my suspicion that Illuminati Pythagoreanism is cultish. I lay out my view of math in the first two articles linked below, a view that draws from Lee Smolin's.
I agree that theoretical physicists have tended to resort to math to explain the deepest aspects of natural reality. Some critics have said that this crypto-Pythagoreanism is what's stalled the field. I don't claim to be competent to pass judgment on the technical issues here. But I've tackled the philosophical questions about our ultimate explanations, in various articles linked below.
Sometimes, math guides physicists in their discoveries. That's a case of getting lucky since there are so many mathematical possibilities to choose from. Math has also taken physicists down dead ends. String theory might be one such dead end.
