Does it have any practical use? Is there any value to be had from those who aren't working on wall street?

Why? Why do this? Is this some grand gatekeeping tactic? I hate seeing Greek in formulas.

Why do they use such bizarre looking equations as an example of how to do things? It's very distracting for me. I don't know how those equations are derived or what any of it means.

>Describe wtf this car is doing

It feels like I have missed a trick. Once I learned how to use Excel everything they tried to teach me in Calc 1 became irrelevant.

How can an AI solve the Riemann hypothesis other then just iterating every theorem in ZFC? If human mind are just computers, how are they able to solve math through intuition?

Why doesn't gravity accelerate things in space? If I'm on a planet like Mars with little air density its low gravity can accelerate me to higher speeds on earth because there's not enough resistance to stop it like on earth. So why don't objects in space accelerate continually? You can use gravity assists to accelerate like pic related when you're in the sphere of influence of a planet but objects in space are always under a sphere of influence mainly the suns.

How is it that while being in orbit you maintain a constant velocity?

How do I artificially increase my neuroplasticity?

Seriously, this is relevant, some of the shit I have to learn at university is so far out there, that I have nothing in my mind where it would be even just remotely comparable too and therefore I have trouble memorizing it. Even if I do memorize some stuff for the exam, I have forgotten most of it three weeks later, which makes the whole thing feel like a superficial exercise. I thought i could just learn to approach the things more like I did when I was a kid but I just fucking can't, it's impossible, even if there's technically nothing to get confused by, I find it hard to overcome certain thinking patterns that I've always followed or certain assumptions on how to think about a something even though they were unfounded and wrong.

What do I do? I'm 20 by the way.

Abiogenesis hasn't been proven scientifically

Daily reminder that atheist scientist after decades of experiments hasn't been able to make abiogenesis happen in a lab.

Is a made up explanation that is not real.

Every experiment to prove abiogenesis just proves DNA organic molecules just spawn with primitive DNA from the inorganic matter suddenly after a few days.
