Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Questions include: What was more important to ancient civilizations, philosophy or science? - What have been your observations on the role of history in current science and research? Is it still relevant, or are we advancing fast enough to make it irrelevant? - Can you tell us about the history of the Wolfram Summer School? How did it start? - What is the history of formal verification in computer security? Particularly, how is it related to automated theorem proving and symbolic computation? Do people use Wolfram Language for formal verification? - Would you consider using one AI to formally verify software now? - What are some examples of scientific/technological "dead ends" other than alchemy (although I suppose we did learn things by accident with that one)? - What about Pythagoras? Philosophy or science? - Do we have enough information to answer this question (philosophy vs. science) for ancient South and Middle American civilizations?
