Math is just a language, perhaps more precise than words, but limiting like words. I have no doubt that there are dimensions that we haven't discovered yet and when someone like Einstein figures out that it is easier to think of the world and the Math is easier with a new paradigm, we will get descriptions in both words and Math. I have observed too many "coincidences" to not believe there is another connecting dimension. It is like we are living in Flatland, except we see three dimensions instead of two and describe time as a fourth instead of a third. The problem with the way we think is that we filter our experiences through what we have already experienced, when something doesn't fit, we often don't see it. The first job is to admit to yourself there are things beyond your experience and train yourself to see them even if they seem strange.
