The present thread will remain incomplete without reference to what
Popper has to say on this matter. For a strong case against the
mystification of physics, see

Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics

p.s.  Popper, contrary to what could be expected from his being a
dualist about the so-called "mind-body problem", is actually very much
a realist about other, more important issues in science. Consequently,
one can ignore his "The Self and its Brain" (a bad influence of J.
Eccles? :-), and still benefit from the earlier (and better) "The
Logic of Scientific Discovery".
