Basically when the average scientist wasn't also a hermeticist. The schism between philosophy and science has resulted in 'scientists' that can't see the forest for the trees and see themselves above philosophy or metaphysics. Ironically, this had lead them to an incoherent philosophy of a coincidental, assymetrical, and, well, incoherent universe, and also to hyperspecialization because modern scientists have an autistic hatred for polymathism and unironically think one area of science could be truly understood seperated from the rest.

The cancer that is modern mathematics is also partially to blame. Again, science of today denies metaphysics but itself reliant on a metaphysics, a sort of pseudo-Platonism. When midwits like  say the universe is mathematics, many mystics of old wouldn't have disagreed, IF we weren't talking about fundamentally different mathematics. Ancient math was arithmatic and geometry, and involved only the natural numbers, that is no negatives numbers no complex numbers etc. Those later numbers came about as useful concepts, but they are not representative of anything in reality. The most egregious misstep was the acceptance of set theory. Up to that point, the concept of inifinity had sort of demanded a respect that you would not use it like any other mathematical object, it was of the gods. Set theory had reduced infinity to any other object, 'says' things like there are infinities larger than others or there are transfinite numbers. Modern math has it's foundations in set theory, and at the two extremes of scale, astrophysics and quantum mechanics, math (instead of experiment) dominates. Shit like black holes and the zoo of subatomic particles is mathematical fiction.
