Understanding the frontier of physics?

[pivoxa15]

I think the problems have their source in the fact that physicists don't usually know what they are doing with mathematics. When a physicist encounters something difficult that he doesn't understand, instead of improving himself, he distorts the mathematics until it has become easy enough for him.

I would be happy, if the development of theoretical physics in the future started to become more and more a job of mathematicians. Not because I wanted the science to go this way, but because this way I would be right with my opinions.

Agree with the first paragraph. Its not just a problem for academics but also undergrad students. A lot of difficulties in physics seem to be not understanding the maths. The students who ace maths usually are good at the upper level theoretical physics.
