The creators of the theory of fundamental interactions did not have a sense of nature. It is surprising how from a mathematical consideration of the subject arise forces, about which nature knows nothing. Why is there a strong interaction mechanism for the attraction of particles, and another mechanism exists for conglomerates of particles — gravity? If a particle has a charge property, then a third mechanism of interaction is invented for it — electromagnetism. Why does a particle need a specific mechanism for decay — weak, not reducible to three?

All these different vectors of force have only empty names, without which it would be better to do. From the emptiness of their distinctions, there arises all the confusion and absurdity in explaining phenomena. It is impossible to ascribe physical reality to that which is real only in the field of mathematics. Mathematical calculations play an extremely important role in modern physics. However, all theories are only a description of the physical image. Physics builds an ideal model, which the language of mathematics describes. However, if the model is wrong, then the mathematics will not fix it.

In the case of describing interactions, theorists calculated the wrong physical model. Moreover, the most sophisticated mathematics only confused the matter and led to the most fantastic ideas (such as asymptotic freedom of quarks and virtual particles). Today everyone decided not to break their heads over the absurdities of old ideas, just close their eyes to them. The reference to mathematics is a convenient means of ridding oneself of the labor of understanding, indicating and justifying conceptual definitions.
