The problem is made worse as physics is so "mathematicized" that the mathematics is beyond the scope of many physicists.

As a result much of the theoretical work is "contracted" out to pure mathematicians so it will only get worse.

Ed Witten is one of the very few physicists that is able to bridge the gap between pure mathematics and theoretical physics.
