Angels is apt. Most of mathematics is abstract, eternal, and really a branch of God, but has little to no practical use in the mortal world. It seems most articles of these discoveries these days try real hard to tie them to either quantum computing or global warming, but that is political funding BS. They should tie them to God instead, and give thanks for enough brains to discover a bit more of Him.
On the contrary, math is very useful in that it mimics nature.
So much so that science and technology co-opted it to make a myriad of shiny playthings.
