Did this autistic shit, too, and it's a major impediment to successfully learning a programming language. C++ isn't going to tell you shit about the hardware level, at least not at first...

Think of it this way: it's better to get a grasp of modern French (Spanish, German, etc) and work backwards, than throw yourself into Medieval French and try to work your way up to modern French, because you're worried about missing all the "insights".

This is what an engineering (((education))) does to people. You saw it here first.
Don't fall for the meme. Engineers are on the same level as sociologists or doctors, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

no, but there is probably a prime number so large that it's the largest prime number you'll ever need, sort of how you only need a small number of pi's digits to accurately calculate the size of the universe.

So basically, what is the largest number that we'll ever need to use, and what is the first prime number smaller than that? Once we know, we can just generate all the prime numbers up to that one, and we'll have a practically complete list of prime numbers

How can the heat death of the universe exist if black holes also exist? If the universe is at maximum entropy, won't matter still cause gravity wells that form black holes? Black holes do shit to energy as well. I'm thinking the universe can only experience heat death if the entire universe was collapsed into a singularity.

help me this is too much for my druknened mind to understand

Implied nowhere.
Learn to read.

Are you born with ability to comprehend advanced math and physics or is it possible to work hard enough to understand?
