I have hope that the internet will expand this outsider phenomena by subverting the convention and political reality of academic institutions. It is no longer the case that you need a University library to access great works, they are all on the web for free. In mathematics where all you need is a creative mind the primary utility of the University has been dethroned.
It's buried in a sea of pseudo-math and numerology:
Biblical Numerology
That guy is hilarious but I mean in some senses he's not doing much different than a typical mathematician, looking for patterns while having ideations of God.
Even the stuff that's legit will at least need a translator if it doesn't conform to the traditional structure, meaning someone will need to look at it and understand that through their own understanding of math in the first place. If any of this is to be found, it'll be on the backs of those who can connect the dots and bridge the concepts.
This will be the reality.
I myself have been working on decoding Heim Theory which is a physical theory established by a outsider of Physics. Berkhard Heim was a brilliant theoretical physicist and mathematician who worked out the standard model and beyond during the 20th century on his own.
There is no doubt that he knew mathematics and physics to an insanely high level given his education but what he pretty much rejected the academic community and worked on his own without publishing. What makes him astonishing is that his creation of the standard model includes an organic approximation of masses for all of the particles we know of and it is the most accurate approximation found thus far (and I mean he blows everyone out of the water).
The issue is he used his own notation and also created his own calculus called selector calculus. To check his work you have to first know he exists and get over the controversy of his reject of academia. Then you have to read his multi volume texts that all are 400 pages + of pure mathematics and physics. While reading you have to dissect his notation and learn the selector calculus by experincing it. This is all very hard for a none German given none of his work is translated. To put it bluntly, most mathematicians at the skill level of pulling this off won't because it is a risk to there careers politically and furthermore there is a risk that Heim backed the approximations into the mathematics and as such they do no pop up organically, it's essentially complex numerology.
I am currently translating Elementarstrukturen der Materie: Einheitliche strukturelle Quantenfeldtheorie der Materie und Gravitation: Bd. 1 (The Elementary Structures of Matter) into English and am about half through. This has been a two year project for me and There's another volume so I am assuming I won't be done until I am 30 which includes a text on the selector calculus.
The absurdity contained within works like The Open Scroll are largely what will make real, genuine findings seem like finding buried treasure. For every one piece of information we're stuck with hundreds of these:
I'll have to check this out
I am really into this movie and my love it has grown sense getting into markets. Every morning I wake up and make the similar assumptions state at the start of the film but am constantly being random pilled through out the day
The presentation even of people who show a surprising amount of ingenuity can still risk alienating their audience, as we see with Terry Davis, and a surprising number of game design autists:
Again, it'll be entirely on the backs of those patient enough to sift through all the junk in hopes of finding something useful, but once you find it all that searching will have meant something.
