Stephen Wolfram – Curt Jaimungal

In this episode Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language, discusses his view of the universe as a computational system. We examine computational irreducibility, discrete space, multi‑way evolution, and how observers shape physical laws from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. Wolfram also conne

In this episode Stephen Wolfram and Donald Hoffman discuss their competing frameworks for understanding reality and consciousness. Wolfram introduces the Ruliad, a computational multiverse that generates all possible mathematical structures, while Hoffman argues that consciousness is fundamental and that we only percei

Stephen Wolfram presents his new Observer Theory, linking consciousness to the foundations of entropy and the Second Law. In this deep conversation with Curt Jaimungal, Wolfram explores how observers shape physical laws and what that means for our understanding of reality.- 00:00:00 - What is Observer Theory?- 00:12:42

In this Mindfest 2023 lecture, Stephen Wolfram explores how physics emerges from computation, discusses the nature of dark matter, and explains the workings of AI systems like ChatGPT. He also connects these ideas to the Wolfram Physics Project and the broader quest for a Theory of Everything.- 00:00:00 - Introduction-

Stephen Wolfram dives deep into his Wolfram Physics project, tackling causal graphs, computational equivalence, and the nature of consciousness while also debating alien communication and the reality of infinity. He shares his perspectives on cryptocurrencies, black holes, and how to build a personal Theory of Everythi
