I don't think this is a new phenomenon. I'm sure when the printing
press made books easily available, there was a similar discussion on how
increased literacy (or the printing of screeds) was good or bad for
knowledge.

In any field- science, art, music, engineering, etc.., some formal
training is essential to learn the foundational concepts and how to use
them. The difference between productive "amateurs" and the cranks is
the willingness to spend time learning instead of spewing.

may be it is my fault that i ddint definer waht is OUTSIDERS'
so insiders for me is the formal unhiversity club!!

i would call it even University Gilda' not very different from th e
medeaval times !!
no much difference

iow if you are not a proffesor or a phd in a university
you are apriory rejected even if no one will admit it formally

now if tha t is the definition than YOU are invited to bring the
long list
of scince advance that was not done by 'insiders'
but rather by outsiders
and at the end of that list
please put in as well in that list ......... (:-)-----
----just in case you cant bring evidence that the
detachemnt of the gamma faftor from the mass was done 80 year
ago......
and i fnot by me
it was done by YOU !!!
