How powerful would one become after mastering fermi estimation, and having memorized a large amount of interesting quantities?


Good day

I finally understand the power of Fermi estimation, and how amazing it will be to memorize numbers for everything. Then I can calculate things in my head!

Now that I think about it, most famous geniuses I can think of were amazing at Fermi estimation and had a great knowledge of numbers/quantities (Fermi, Von Neumann, Feynman, Elon Musk, ...)

It'll be fun to memorize all these quantities,

In after years I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics, for men thus endowed seem to have an extra sense. Charles Darwin, Autobiography, 1887
