And traveling to a different country? If I travel to ANY country on Earth, I still know physics, I still know math. I have a phone I can use to navigate and translate

Like the proper analogy here is a different planet, not different country.

Your phone isn't going to get 5G on a different planet so it means jack. Physics at some level will be different on different planets, which would then propagate into a lot of concepts of math. Not to mention a lot of concepts of math are proven by theorems and stuff which are figured out by mathematicians-- different mathematicians, different theorems used to build up a mathematical system which could be equally valid, since math is all about internal consistency. You could have a completely different Mathematical system on a different advanced planet-- that's not to say your math is invalid, but it actually could be in the face of the accepted system on the planet, or at least thoroughly obsolete.

Anyway I have issues with Loki but it's not because he's presented as incompetent. His competency in Loki is on par with his MCU showings, really, where he's generally presented as extremely effective while executing a plan he concocts, but not the best at adapting in general when thrown into situations that are unfamiliar to him. I just think they shoehorn too much personality development into him too quickly, kinda Han's gripe where it really did need more unpacking to get where it got to rather than just showing Loki a highlight video and letting him jump to whatever personality they wanna give him.
