Well, I thought a lot about this topic.
The Pythagorean really thought this way, but Hippasos was one of them and they killed him for finding the golden number and sqrt(2). The reason was because the thought the world is made of rational numbers (in modern terms) and he proofed that irrational numbers exist. So they were misjudging the world.
The modern misjudging may be differential equations. If math is the answer to everything we may be able to calculate the future. I don’t think this is the truth because in this world we have free will.
