When science is translated into math [physics, anyway], science *is*
beauty. But you have to learn the language to appreciate the beauty,
just as one must learn the language of art to fully appreciate art.

It is amazing how not being aware of the context of an artwork [e.g. the
movies "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court"] can cause complete and total misunderstanding.
