And when something totally out of our control happens, ie, a large asteroid coming or the sun running out of fuel, you’re NOT going to be able to Google the solution the way you do when looking for answers on your homework assignment. The internet won’t be if any real help.
People tend to thing they will live on in there childrens . We are so retarded . 😔 . That's how our brain works . Unfortunately . We care about humanity . Nobody who are alive now , will be living ,100 years from now . New set of people will take our place . Why not those set of people be hybrid human. 😁
Or that the reason it continues to exist is because it just happens to have a reproduction functionality.
That still doesn't say what the point is, if any.

But Albert himself was a flunky, no? It's interesting how progeny is influenced by descent. If he became a stone mason instead of a physicist, do you think his offspring would have achieved such credentials and notoriety? I think...maybe,.. quite possibly not. Anything is possible under the right circumstances.
A case of nurture rather than nature in terms of Einstein's offspring you think, Pete?
As for Einstein himself, you may be interested in checking out his father's credentials.
Nature was seemingly behind Einstein as he was somewhat of a child prodigy. By the age of 12, he had taught himself algebra and Euclidean geometry and, at age 14, had mastered integral and differential calculus.
After obtaining his teaching diploma in maths and physics, and unable to find a teaching position, Einstein worked as a "flunky" (your word, not mine) in the Swiss Patent Office. His permanent position lasted only a couple of years before he was awarded a PhD from the University of Zurich in 1905 on the strength of the four ground breaking papers he produced that year on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity and mass energy equivalence.
Good going for a mere "flunky"! 😉

No, I thought he was an underachiever in school, and as you mention, learned on his own. Did he not have clashes with teachers due to his unorthodox and thereby advanced insights? Anyway, although he may have been an exception to the rule, I do think we're all capable of achieving great heights if given the opportunity.
He left his school (forging a doctor's note!) because of their rote learning techniques which he rightly opined left no room for personal engagement with the subjects.
The comedian Albert Brooks was born Albert Einstein, decided he was better off lowering expectations, changed his name.
I seem to remember you attaching a photograph that showed you attaining great heights.
Any chance of seeing it again? ☺️
A E as an underachiever in school, is an urban legend.
Another one, in the same vein: His wife, a very good mathematician was the one who did the general relativity work.
The true story is, he understood he was lacking some higher maths ( tensors, topology ) to establish formally what he had in mind. So it took him a couple of years to study, upgrading in maths.
I am extremely respectful for this attitude.

Not too worried about the sun running out of fuel. I won't be alive and before that happens, it swells into a red giant and swallows the earth. If we get nailed by another 10 mile wide asteroid, again, IF I survive, I'll grab by Foxfire books and head for the hills.
So, you're saying it takes too long to sift 42,000 'answers' to find the thirteen not erroneous ones?
No problem on DIYaudio you will find ALL answers.
Absolutely all possible ones, the wrong ones as well as the right one. 🤔
