Outsider science 10/23/15 (Fri) 19:39:18 No.3305

So I found an interesting article about crackpots who want to understand science, but lack the ability, and make up their own theories. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/outsider-scientists/4672194

Could these people be turned into useful contributors to science? They are inqusitive and creative; do they simply lack the education? Btw, I heard string theory compared to outsider science, lol.

Carl Sagan talked about this in Broca's Brain, and he argued that these imaginative people could have contributed to science. Could have.

Can't remember much else, I need to reread the book.
