,Win a meteorite💥! Join my email list: http://briankeating.com/yt What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound? In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe. Stephen Wolfram is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades, he has pioneered the development & application of computational thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions & innovations in science, technology, and business. He argues that time is the inevitable progress of computation in the universe, where simple rules can lead to complex behaviors. This concept, termed computational irreducibility, implies that time has a rigid structure and that our perception of it is limited by our computational capabilities. Wolfram also explores the relationship between time, space, and gravity, suggesting that dark matter might be a feature of the structure of space. Tune in to discover the true nature of time. Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:51 The true nature of time 00:24:42 The role of computational irreducibility in thermodynamics 00:29:52 The Ruliad and the nature of observers 00:53:28 The role of gravity in the computational universe 01:06:14 Dark matter and the discreteness of space 01:12:54 Paradigm shifts in science and technology 01:20:18 Exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) 01:31:32 Outro Additional resources: ➡️ Check out Stephen Wolfram: 💻 Website: https://www.stephenwolfram.com/ ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/stephen_wolfram ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/ 🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast ✨ Get early access to new videos (+other perks): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join — Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

,Stephen Wolfram hosts live and unscripted Ask Me Anything about business, innovation and managing life. Find the playlist of Q&A's here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa Originally livestreamed at: https://twitch.tv/stephen_wolfram If you missed the original livestream of this episode, feel free to submit a question you would like Stephen to answer in a future Q&A livestream here: https://wolfr.am/12cczmv5J 00:00 Start stream 1:06 SW starts talking 1:26 If your last name was something like Smith, would you still have named your company after your name or gone with something different? How does one decide that, are there certain criteria to fit so there aren't a bunch of "Smith" companies? 15:47 Actually, now that i think about it, it's strange we don't have a dozen 'Einstein incorporations. 16:49 Reminds me of the old Dilbert series where the pointy-haired-boss says "The name of the project is the most important thing!" before they even know what the product will be 18:32 So a name is like a joke, if you have to explain it then it does not work? 23:25 Little like 'complex numbers'. Just the name sounds scary to students. 27:35 Can names be copyrighted? 29:16 What role does AI play in brainstorming or generating company names? Will AIs start naming and running their own company? 31:11 With a name like Wolfram people will think physics. Wolfram is becoming synonymous with cutting edge physics. 32:04 Are there any specific naming conventions or patterns that tend to perform well in the tech industry? 38:10 Have you tried asking an LLM for business advice? 39:56 Do you think trends in naming, like all the '-ify' startups, will hurt a brand in the long run? 41:20 What advice would you give to a computer scientist that wants to pursue synthetic biology? 45:24 That's important to have a way to gage biological evolution as a state of increasing complexity. 46:57 How do you determine how innovative something is? What are the key criteria for assessing innovation? 55:37 What's the best way to test a business idea before going all in? 1:00:04 I have experienced trouble at university learning electrical engineering. I can now understand the intent to teach the intuition in EE is not translated to coherent actions, by the teachers. What are the pitfalls experts should avoid in order to maximize the quality of their teaching? 1:05:42 I've always wanted to sequence my genome! its amazing we have made this possible! 1:09:47 End stream Follow us on our official social media channels.
