ELI5: How do mathematicians like Stephen Hawking "explain" things like black holes etc using only equations?

Just saw The Theory of Everything and it got me wondering. I mean, it's all math!?!?!?!?!

You know how authors write long  stories using letters and words and the rules of grammar and writing? Its just like that. With enough knowledge of how to read (math), these kinds of explanations make sense. Dont feel bad that you cant read it. Its just like if you tried to read a story in a language you dont know. You can learn.
