Where does T'Challas sister learn science from

She saw Bill Cosby's Picture Pages and extrapolated from there.

Where did the knowledge of making Greek Fire come from? A weapon that we still to this day don't know how it worked. Just so happened that Greeks figured it out Centuries ago. Where did the Knowledge of gunpowder come from? Chinese in isolation figured out how to make it. Where did the very labor intensive knowledge of processing Copper Ore come from? It was figured out in one small area in the Middle East. Now think about this to smelt pure copper from copper ore you have to have constant air blown on the smelting fire. This is so it gets hot enough to liberate pure copper. In Timna_Valley they didn't have bellows so 3 or 4 people would blow into tubes for hours to do it. How did they figure out that if you blow on a fire for 8 hours copper ore becomes copper? And they figured that out a thousand years before christ. History is littered with cases of gaining knowledge of some scientific/knowledge in isolation and independent of the rest of the world. In 3 different parts of the world the water driven hammer and anvil was created. In more that 4 different parts of the world advance Pyramid Construction happened. The bottom line is Wakanda figured out things way before the rest of the world. It was a natural process. Just how western civilization came to its knowledge. Just think of Wakanda like it was the Western World. They just were accelerated. They went through the same process we did. They started in Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Steel Age, Industrial Revolution,, Information Age, Post Modern Age. They just did in isolation and with out the knowledge of the rest of the world. And they did it before the rest of the world.

Guidance and collaboration is a means of directing genius. They are not the means by which genius is born or attained. Those who are intellectually gifted usually manifest their talents at an early age. Formal education is generally regarded as a constraint or formality by most true genius level intellects.

Genius is the closest thing the human race has to an X gene.

BOOM. Points!

Civil War is the 6th movie with Stark in it.  Did you guys cry about not knowing where Stark went to school in the 1st Iron Man movie?

Yet no one is Wakanda is smart enough to figure out how to choose a leader in the 21st century without resorting to violence and bloodshed and mortal combat even though most of the rest of the world has already done so.

Nope, Wakanda isn't advanced at all. WAKANDA IS JUST A BARBARIC AND SAVAGE AND UNCIVILIZED NATION THAT'S FAR BEHIND MOST OF THE WORLD.

If you have a very real God telling you to do things a certain way, you do them.

After all, it worked for the Amazons and they had less of a reason than the Wakandans.

In the real world Isolationist rarely prosper, so I see your point. Free exchange of information is usually the key to civilization. That's not to say that individuals or even groups haven't done amazing things without formal training or collaboration . With this it's left open. It up to the individual to fill in the blanks. I see it as a microcosm of the western civ. we are used to. They had their own Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Plato, and Hawkins. Hell they probably had their own Tony Stark. In the end it's kind of a minor problem that doesn't, to me, ruin suspension of Disbelief. It's easier for me to suspend with Shuri's intellegence than it is with Wolverine's (Deadpool's) regeneration. Like in X-men 3 his body is being ripped apart walking toward Jean. He goes from bone back to tissue a few times. Now how do humans heal? Our bodies turn sugar, protein, fats and minerals into new flesh. Wolverine should've been getting skinnier and skinnier as he got closer. He would be depleting all his stores of glucose, lactose, lipids, glycogen, and amino acids to regrow that tissue  In the comics he's regrown body parts. To do so he would have to consume so much food for fuel he would've never stop eating. Hell he would have to eat while he slept or more likely die from his body converting his stores of building blocks into a new arm or leg. (on a side note how does Wolverine's bones make and release Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets? We make them in our bone marrow. If wolverine's bones are in cased in metal he wouldn't be able to live because of the lack of those cells.)

I enjoyed JL more than BP. It appears to me that most on these boards did too.
