Personally, my problem was always that math concepts were never presented in a way that actually made sense in the “real world.”
I was taught that complex numbers were real numbers with imaginary parts that had something to do with the square root of -1. Yeah, I get it, but… why?
Fast forward a few decades and I’m writing code that processes a digitized waveform. Now it makes sense. Math isn’t hard when you have a frame of reference. Learning math concepts solely for the sake of learning them is very hard.
I’m also in agreement with you there. I’d rather use Windows 11 than macOS, but that’s kinda like saying I’d rather have a lobotomy with a short icepick instead of a long one.
If it makes it out of the lab and can be manufactured at scale, it could revolutionize every industry that uses electricity at all, and that is essentially every industry. I look forward to the day I can replace the copper wiring in my house with superconducting NM wire.
