It is not particularly recommended that people try to invent their own math instead of studying existing math.
It might be useful for people to start by figuring out a) what math they want to study or b) what problems they want to solve/what tools they could use. “Learn all of math” is a daunting task. (Though perhaps more useful than “Learn every programming language”.)
Trying to invent your own physics without studying real physics just makes you into a physics crank,
(I’m curious about the probabilities here.)
It’d be slow going, though I wouldn’t say failure would be guaranteed. (If I went to the leaning tower of pisa, dropped a piece of paper and a rock, and had someone else on the ground time* when they hit the ground (where), I might conclude that a rock hits the ground sooner when dropped from the leaning tower of pisa, than a piece of paper does.)
*Making videos would be ideal, actually. People put a lot of stock in writing things down, but if the whole process is also filmed (and made available live) that could be better than pre-registration** - and allay concerns regarding data tampering.
**absent concerns regarding censoring via the platform
