It seems incredibly unlikely to me. It's more likely all physics is argument by analogy from limited human experiences, and math is just a culturally consistent subset of that. What look like genius predictions are mostly (Einstein aside...) generations of post docs throwing equations at their whiteboards to see what sticks. A few happen to be confirmed by experiment. Most are quietly forgotten. I strongly suspect we literally can't begin to imagine what's really going on. |

I also happen to believe that might be true. In the same way a dog will never understand single variable calculus, there probably are concepts that are out of reach for us.
