Neil deGrasse-Tyson gives a great answer to the question math teachers so often get: WHEN WILL I EVER USE THIS?!?
“Whether or not you ever again use the math you learned in school, the act of having learning the math established a wiring in your brain that hadn’t existed before, and it’s the wiring in your brain that makes you the problem solver.”

The cosmic perspective not only embraces our genetic kinship with all life on Earth but also values our chemical kinship with any yet-to-be discovered life in the universe, as well as our atomic kinship with the universe itself.
