Stephen Wolfram - In science, there is no such thing as "obvious" #wolfram #physics #maths #space
Full episode: th-cam.com/video/VOFSllSc354/w-d-xo.html
Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life and mind of one of the most influential figures in the world of computation and physics - Stephen Wolfram.
Today, we are talking to Stephen Wolfram, founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha answer engine.
We traced Stephen's academic journey from Eton College to Oxford and CalTech, covering milestones, first scientific papers at 15, and the shift from space to physics. Delving into chapters on his PhD, teaching at CalTech, and receiving the MacArthur Fellowship, Stephen shared insights on complex systems, mentorship, and encounters with figures like Richard Feynman and Steve Jobs. After exploring the creation and impact of Wolfram Alpha, the Wolfram Physics Project, and his current pursuits, we also gained insights into Stephen's productivity system, reflections on parenting, friendships, and Hollywood interactions.
Throughout the episode, Stephen imparted wisdom and advice for fresh college graduates, leaving a profound mark on the sands of history. We hope that his wisdom will help you mark the trajectory of your academic and professional career while you have fun listening to the new episode of our podcast. Enjoy!

    Take a drink every time Stephen says "physics" or "a bunch of" 😮. Great talk

      Feynman said "You should just work on physics." "There's quite a funny story he wrote to you in a letter, tell us about that." Feynman said "You should just work on physics."

    При детектирование гравитационных волн LIGO, полезный сигнал 0,2% на шум приходится 99,8%. По другому можно сказать. - Если случайно совпадают шумы (мусор), на двух или трёх детекторах, то выдадут это за гравитационные волны, согласно подготовленных заранее шаблонов. На “ГИБРИД оптическом гироскопе" при регистрации, квантов гравитации оптом. Возможно полезные сигнал получим 74% и на шумы 26%. - Вам выбирать рулетку, что измеряет Вселенную и из чего, главное она состоит. Итак садимся в автотранспорт или самолёт и в нём выполним опыт Майкельсона-Морли, определяя им прямолинейную скорость. - О таком опыте мечтал ещё Эйнштейн. Но мы, возможно будем наблюдать постулаты "Свет это упорядоченная вибрация гравитационных квантов. Доминантные гравитационные поля управляют скоростью света в вакууме". Есть предложение на совместное изобретения ГИБРИД гироскопа из некруглых, ДВУХ катушек с новым типом оптического волокна с «полой сердцевиной из фотоно-замещенной вакуумной зоной», где - свет в каждом плече проходит по 16000 метров при этом, не превышает параметры 0,4/0,4/0,4 метра и вес - 4кг. Предприятия по выпуску "Волоконно-оптических гироскопов" может выпускать ГИБРИД гироскопы, для учебно практического применения.

      Hard to say if they would have been better or not. Sometimes people need a professional adversary to push them forward. It's also difficult for two such remarkably successful men, each with strong personalities and lots of pride, to collaborate. I speak from observation, not personal experience. Sadly. :)

      @@JJGhostHunters Not really, no. I think some have picked it up from TV media -- and we watch a lot of USA-made TV;) Currently there i an epidemic here of folk saying "like" every damned sentence, which drives me mad. The yutes are mainly afflicted by this. Again, probably picked up from the media and music stars.

    This really isnt that amazing. I could do that at six too because the books I read at that age had pages with large images and only a small amount of text on them e.g. "The cat sat on the mat" lol
