Right there in our Lord's prayer is some financial advice: > And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. In the original Greek of Matthew's prayer, the word is "ophelilema", as in financial debt.

But there is a difference between memoization and dynamic programming. Memoization or otherwise indiscriminately storing the results of computations will blow up your memory use on many problems, where a dynamic programming approach would n

That tends to blow up your memory. And even if you have huge amounts of memory available, using a big cache will slow down your program enormously.

What I don't understand: Say I'm a doctor, and I declare I will only work my 40 hours (or however much a full time is where you are). I will literally leave when my time is up. Oh, and I don't pick up phones outside of work.

You can always say, "I observed event A at time X from position Y" Relativity doesn't make time-keeping impossible. It just requires more clarity. UTC was implemented after Einstein passed away.
