You ask a trick question. We view and interpret the world through the tools we have (math). Feynman pointed out this absurdity here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd0xTfdt6qw&feature=youtu.be... ) The ancients used geometry, classical theory tends to analytical expressions, modern theory is mostly fields, and likely future developments will be computational. The old tools will likely go the way of Greek and Latin and geometry and geography.
