I think that theoretical physics is an example of confusing map with the territory. Just because you can work out some mathematical mumbo-jumbo does not necessarily mean that it has any connection to reality. This applies especially well to string theory which is just layers of pointless mathematics, each layer trying to make up for obvious deficiencies of lower layers.
