Answer 1

Researching what? What are you researching? Please be more specific.

If you are researching, say, a math project, and are too lazy to search through every single number from 1 to 999999999 trying to see if any of them defy the Collatz Conjecture, then I suppose it could help you do all the work very fast.

But, if you're trying to research the organelles within cells or study the % composition of haemoglobin in red blood cells...then I wouldn't suppose it would help you.
