But in mathematics, theories are subdivisions of knowledge. You cannot prove or disprove theories anymore than you can prove/disprove numbers and operators. And the minute you pick the word axioms, science (physical sciences for those who are pedantic about it) is out of context.
In physics, a genius invents an axiom (or a part of a theoretical model if you prefer) to predict something that is unpredictable so far.
He then uses the theorems produced by that to see if hes predictions are wright (or more closer to the reality off experiments than before).
If they are then he wins the nobel price (he wishes).
And after that, if he is Richard Feynman he uses all the help from mathematicians he can get to expand the theory of quantum electro dynamics and drive poor gyus like me to crayziness.
In the end he accepts that the quantum theory is not perfect yet and it will probably never will be.
That's the problem of science, it tries to describe the reality. Axioms and theories are excepted untill proven wrong.
Neoliberalism on the other hand will never be proven wrong because it will defenetly destroy the logic and there will be no one in shane left to be proven wrong to.
