In response to a query from .@John4tl, here are some rambling thoughts about using a #zettelkasten for hard sciences.

The first thought is, its usefulness depends on which science is studied. This is for a variety of reasons. Physics requires more space to do calculations, which biology (and presumably neuroscience) does not need to do. Consequently, it is easier to write an "encyclopedia" for physics, akin to a #zettelkasten but on a full sheet of paper as opposed to an index card.
