on the other hand, having a supercomputer to do simulations before you try something In Real Life, can save a lot of time when you are trying to finish a PhD before you die of starvation or give up out of frustration when your research experiments won't work

Re: "What is money"
Money (as used now-a-days) is a con trick.
In ancient times it was a lump of precious (shiny) metal.
Later it was a 'promise to pay' written on a piece of paper that could be converted to precious metal.
For some it was silver (Sterling) or some gold (Gold Standard)
Now it is just a promise that you may get something in exchange for the piece of paper.
