"then using some imaginative ideas and applying totally far out math to 'prove" the hypothesis. Until somebody else caomes up with another hypothesis and even more sophisticated..."
Our form system of reasoning (set theory) is flawed, in ergo, all uses of the system to describe the universe we perceive will exhibit manifestations of those flaws.
Godel's Incompletness Theorem- IMO, one of the most important of all time- says perfect formal systems of reasoning (i.e. consistent and complete) don't exist. He basically showed by assuming that one exists is a contradiction in itself.
What it means from a theology/physics point of view is that "some things are intrinsically unknowable":
God can never be proven and will always require blind faith.
Physics search for the elusive unified field theory will end up a dead end with theorems that will merge with philosophy- impossible to subject to experimentation, therefore unproveable.
