>>Apart from Franklin (Im a bit amazed at his case) the nature & physics scientists were inescapably stimulated by or developed their thinking in a uni environment. Organized scientific research in an academic environment will always prevail above loose cannons.<<
Not what Philip Kuhn taught.
Phyiscal notation, like music, describes concepts in a way that the written word can't easily do. So yeah if you never learn calculus you're never going anywhere in physics.
But Einstein ignored the mainstream view of physics for thought experiments about riding electrons. And he didn't agree with Bohr or Heisenberg and thought there would be a proof to rebut their null-A existentialism; the idea that a particle has either velocity, or position, but not both, and the observer alters their state, was not taught at university until the loose cannons made it respectable. As Kuhn says, the analomy explained becomes the new paradigm.
