Actually very little physics, if any, can really be understood without math. Galileo wrote that the language of nature is mathematics. He believed, and I humbly agree, that the best way, the only way, to describe and comprehend nature at its deepest level is by using mathematics. Quantum theory is stranger yet because there is the additional problem that people are still arguing over its interpretation (a mathematical problem too).
Math is hated by most people before they have a real chance to see what it is about. It is a shame. Extremely intelligent people turn away from it for stupid reasons. What a loss.
