So you are just demonstrating your ignorance. All of these are based on years of government funded research, private funding really only got involved once things looked promising.
lithium ion batteries: invented at Exxon and Asahi Kasai corp
AI: refined at IBM culminating in deep blue, refined by Google with BERT, recently refined by Open AI
solar panel: invented by bell labs private industry
modern electronics, medical technology, and green tech??
all so vague, but probably all invented by private industry.
It's actually the reverse with you showing your ignorance.
Lithium ion batteries of Whittingham were based on decades of research in academia, including his own work at Standford and work of other scientists in many other institutions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_lithium-ion_bat... how many research institutions are mentioned in the article.
Profit-oriented research rarely produces interesting fundamental results.
It might be good to check your confidence in your knowledge.
> His work was funded by France. Citation needed.
Everything I've read he was a private citizen experimenting in his father's laboratory and not part of any academic institution or receiving any government funding.
Radio waves - Maxwell, of course. Radio receiver/transmitter invented both by Popov and Marconi independently of each other, so it’s 50/50 academic vs commercial research.
Flight - impossible to attribute to a single person or team of inventors. There are balloons, gliders, airplanes, space flight etc. Wright brothers built a machine, but there was prior research in academia. Theory of flight was developed with heavy influence of military (i.e. state funding) and I can name a number of state-funded institutions in different countries which advanced the science significantly. Commercialization did help, but not as the only driver and probably not the main one.
Antibiotics - what fundamental result do you mean exactly? It’s a broad term with a rich history, a lot of initial research done in non-commercial institutions.
I will stop here. I have an impression that your views have something to do with your personal grievances. If you want to construct some unorthodox theory of how science works, good luck with that.
It's extremely simple.
The wright brothers discovered/ invented flight.
Ben Franklin discovered/ invented electricity.
Marconi: radio waves
Flemming: antibiotics
This is settled history agreed upon worldwide, this is not controversial or complicated.
why do you have to rationalize so much!?
