contents <p>The “Mathematical Tricks” Postulate asserts that, contrary to the principles of scientific inquiry demanding theories precede and predict observation, much of 20th-century physics embraced post-hoc mathematical constructs as foundational, prioritizing the fitting of equations to data and the resolution of theoretical paradoxes over developing theories with genuine explanatory power derived from underlying physical principles. This shift established mathematical description as an end in itself, allowing convenient formalisms or “tricks”—echoing Planck’s own description of quantization—to masquerade as fundamental understanding, thereby obscuring deeper realities and potentially constituting systemic intellectual fraud.</p>
