every time something new is discovered, pedagogs need to work with the field professionals (like mathematicians) to compress the new knowlegde and pass it upon the next generation.

but subjects can only be compressed to a point, there is a bare minimum it can be simplified to, and maybe that simplification would slow down further discoveries due to lack of profound knowledge in pre-requsites

but let's say that isn't the case and discoveries aren't slow down, at which point does the accumulation of knowledge becomes so large that a human being would need to devote his lief just to be able to research it?
