It's more like mathematics. While it's true that everyone can invent their own maths, this is only really done in advanced academia for research. Almost everything in practical use is standarized. No-one is arguing about whether you need integration or what the right notation for differential equations is. This took time to achieve. You wouldn't be able to read Newton's papers easily, even though a large amount of high school mathematics is based on things he invented/discovered.
