There's no reason he couldn't get a Phd in physics without reading Galileo, Newton, Copernicus, Kelpler, ad infinitum.
Only if his thesis rests on something specific in those sources would he need it for his dissertation - and that's extremely unlikely.
It's also probably why he does so badly in philosophy - unlike science*, you really DO need a working knowledge of the original source material.
*Sticky point, a physicist would have a 'working knowledge' of Newton - but he still wouldn't need to read Principles to get it.I am Punkinhead.

Better question - what was his dissertation topic?"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

I guess you do have a Ph.D after all!
