I disagree. Science is about making observations, drawing inferences, and doing experiments to confirm ideas about those inferences. There's nothing about it which is intrinsic to a particular world view. If you were in the Matrix, and relationships were consistent, you would go about the process of figuring out those relationships. If you were a brain in a jar, and your imagined world had enough reliable relationships to make observation worthwhile, you'd still do it.
Keep in mind that in an idealistic universe, it's ALL math (or, at least, abstract principles)-- and that includes not only the formulas drawn up, but the QM particles themselves, as well as the equipment measuring it.
