The junction of philosophy and science hasn't been unproductive. Consider a couple of the main points of philosophy and science of the past century. Philosophers developed logic during that time, after Frege, Brentano and Tarski logic and the philosophy of logic continued to develop. Symbolic logic, truth theories and epistemology are important in technology and science in several respects. People wonder about the nature of reality and what is real, or if reality exists because it is perceived. Considering the wave function collapsed stimulated various sorts of inquiries- there are so many theories about the Universe being made now, and of what the origins of it are that philosophy may help some people to sort it out.
Quine and Strawson of course developed logic and epistemology and especially Quine and Kripke address the meaning of language, words and objects, nominalism and pluralism and other areas concerning the reality of objects, or the alternative designation of aspects of a universal field as objects that are perceptible to human- even perceptible with human instruments to observe other wavelengths of the information reflecting in various different ways from objects that are not black bodies.
Logic and modal logic- different varieties of logic have real applications in computer science, computer operations and writing programs for scientific applications. There may be several forms of logic used in quantum computing one day that can be considered by philosophers concerning heterodox interactions with mass and energy. It doesn’t hurt to have a circumspective approach to inquiry so long as there are people that can do the math and apply correct field theories.
Modal logic applies to theological approaches to contemplation of the nature of a Multiverse with a reference frame of an eternal, omniscient and omnipotent God who foreknows everything that exists in the future and past because it is within his thought; complete Universes and a Metaverse comprised of all Multiverses would necessarily exist for an omnipotent Deity because everything that can exist, does exist somewhere in His mind, and that includes a Multiverse. Philosophy allows one to speculate about various Multiverse structures in some way differently yet complementary to existing scientific theory like Tegmark’s Level four Multiverse paradigm wherein everything that can exist does in a Multiverse and it is the human though that switches to an appropriate Universe with each idea. Pre-determinism is obvious, since it is all pre-created.

Such paradigms are consistent with Wheeler’s ideas about reverse causality incidentally; philosophical contemplation of the ideas of physics can at least lead to some interesting science fiction concept and perhaps sometimes to new ideas for physicist to create more and better theories,
Quine destroyed empiricism with the two dogmas of Empiricism and that was a meaningful contribution to the philosophy of science and juxtaposed with the entire quantum uncertainty/wave-function collapse field of consideration on the nature of the Universe. One may talk about physical objects for example, yet one knows with modern science that one perceives electromagnetic spectral emissions within a field that is an entanglement of massless particles in a Higgs Field- and one doesn’t actually know so well what occurs beyond the fields and field phenomena that humans experiences as beings embedded within that field.

Philosophy combined with science perhaps may let one consider the Universe in various ways that are not ordinary. It really is a marvelous thing to realize that the Universe is something like a dream occurring in nowhere that becomes somewhere simply because something is occurring within that infinite host nothingness or transcendent unknown.

Read about the history of modern logic, and consider how computers use logic, how mathematicians use computers and logic, the way systems are modeled in sundry scientific field with computers and modal logic too in order to extrapolate permutations of controls and variables in specific modal universes- etc. Do you know who George Boole was, or Gottleib Frege? After those two symbolic logic developed for a century and continues to.
David Lewis, a philosopher, recently developed an application that can be applied to Multiverse theory- a popular enough trend among physicists concerned with string theory. Although dimensions and nothingness cannot really be defined; instead a void and mathematical conventions exist for considering and calculating relations of n dimensions,. It is useful since the advent of Everett’s Many Worlds hypothesis as an alternative way to wave function collapse ( https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-many-worlds-theory/ ) and contemporary physic’s efforts to understand quantum cosmology, quantum relativity and sundry deliberations regarding mass and energy as phenomena to use model universes. One may do as much with that as thought allows supported today with advanced computational logic structures.
Here is what Gemini said about David Lewis's viewpoint; "Model realism, particularly as articulated by David Lewis, proposes that all logically possible worlds are real and exist on par with our own, while the multiverse is a broader concept suggesting the existence of multiple universes, potentially with different physical laws. While both concepts involve multiple "worlds," their core ideas and motivations differ: model realism is a philosophical stance on possibility, whereas the multiverse is a cosmological hypothesis.
Here is one intersection of a philosopher and a physicist;
The physicist Max Tegmark advanced the Math Universe Hypothesis- “Tegmark's Level IV multiverse, the culmination of his four-level hierarchy, posits that . This means that any mathematical structure, even those with physical laws vastly different from our own, represents a distinct universe within this level. This level is based on the idea that reality is fundamentally mathematical, and therefore, any mathematical reality must exist.”-quote from Gemini.
On George Boole, Gemini said "Boole's work combined mathematics, logic, and philosophy, aiming to formalize the laws of thought and reasoning. He saw his system as a way to represent logical operations and derive conclusions mechanically, not as a philosophical system. " Philosophy is often like that, providing expansive thought paradigms that can be applied to various fields of thought. Interdisciplinary thought is some of the most creative in the process of inventing or inducting new ideas in science and technology. I don't know why you want to draw such a distinction between purely academic and non-academic philosophers either. Progress obviously often occurs with unconventional and synthetic recombinations of ideas from various fields. It is not always a tight little system developed by academic scientists, or professional scientists working in laboratories for corporations or the Chinese Communist party in professi
