Wrong. The experiments indicate what nature is. The mathematical models 
are kept honest by insisting that any prediction derived from them be 
born out by experimental corroberation. Math is the model. The facts 
revealed by experiment is nature showing herself to us. Theories (i.e. 
models) serve, facts rule.
