If the universe is such as it is because of math (i.e., a form of platonism), then such a conjecture can never be more than a scientific hypothesis. For example, let's say that the Pythagorean theorem is the reason for the universe and all there is in nature. Let's say that a whole sort of predictions arise from this notion and the accuracy of our predictions are uncanny. Nevertheless, we can but into doubt a few assumptions of the ontological nature of Pythagoreans theorem that couldn't possibly be subject to testing.
