Mathematical Fitting Shackles Physical Reality

Modern theoretical physics has long adopted a research paradigm prioritizing mathematical fitting. It replaces the tracing of objective physical mechanisms with model self consistency and local numerical matching. Many mainstream theoretical models deliver satisfactory fitting results only under small scale solar system and weak field conditions. Significant deviations emerge once the scope extends to galactic scale, cosmic large scale, microscopic particle systems and extreme celestial scenarios. To maintain continuity of the original mathematical framework, researchers continuously add auxiliary assumptions and hypothetical particles to fill gaps between models and observations, gradually building a theoretically shackled system with nested assumptions that resists self correction. A large number of hypothetical particles are introduced into the system as mathematical patches, accompanied by supporting high order equations which render the theoretical system complicated and obscure. The proposals of dark matter and dark energy originate from passive supplementary assumptions caused by scale adaptation failure and underlying mechanism misalignment of traditional gravitational models. If the physical logic of chained gravity is adopted, such artificial assumptions become unnecessary. This study sorts out the evolution process by which modern physics is dominated by mathematical tools and gradually deviates from natural reality. It points out that local fitting equivalence does not equal global physical reality, and mathematical self consistency cannot replace physical mechanism self consistency. The core reason for the stagnation of contemporary fundamental physics is that mathematical fitting systems have long shackled the exploration of physical reality.
