Sometimes I have a hard time understanding things unless I do them myself. I have a hard time understanding watts versus volts. I want to make a lead acid battery. I remember some articles where people were doing this in mason jars in like 1880 when people also too had a hard time understanding electricity so I think I'll understand better if this is where I start. So if I'm going to make a lead acid battery I have here some sulfuric acid and some mason jars. How do I go about doing this next? I have an electric meter too so that I can see what I'm doing. What is it I can should do to get started?

How do you deal with variable binders when mechanizing metatheory?
I'm a brainlet who can't into nominal sets or parametric higher order abstract syntax.
They just seem really clumsy compared to using simple capture avoiding substitution of strings.
The less said about de Bruijn indices the better.

How do you feel about the problem of forgetting things you read /sci/? Should you return to textbooks you already studied years later for a refresher, or should you just keep reading assuming if it's important you will learn it again anyway? How about reading loads of animal facts, yet soon forgetting them again? Is there a point in reading them if they soon go away, or is it good to read them anyway to help you understand? What do you think? Note: I'm not really talking about stuff to use techniques like mnemonics or memory palaces for, just a normal kind of memory that's part of your understanding.

what actually is science? when did it start? is it just a philosophical theory of how to understand physical objects outside of the mind? Havent people been doing science for thousands of years? Why do we worship 17th - 20th century scientists in our culture?
