I apologize, I was being a bit presumptuous. When it comes to quantum physics I do see your point. For astrophysics I view the math as a stepping stone to understanding those things in the sky that we see at night. In that sense there's a bigger picture behind the big picture of the physics and we can all share in it. In QM, maybe not so much.
