Read this on the largest number every used in a mathematical proof.

Then ask yourself, if you think you could handle this number in microseconds let alone an eternity

Just a handful…

Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn’t be able to read anyway.

and just a few users, who are big spammers.

Well, that’s academic…

Again, when you are in the real world… how is irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter if you did your homework or did the same thing over and over again.

Sure, some people acquire the capability through repetition. But all that matters in the end is if you are capable or not.

So viewing homeworks as just about the artifact you submit is missing the point and short-sighted.

No, the point is to get an irrelevant piece of paper that in the end doesn’t actually indicate a persons capabilities.

The only thing the world gives a shit about:

CAN you do it? If you can, how long will it take and how much?

The how is irrelevant.

Realistic Batteries. It’s holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.

Semi-Realistic Room Temperature Super-Conductor.

If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical… It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.

Way-Out-There-Stuff If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.
