Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [August 28, 2020]


Listen Later

Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series.

Questions  include: Is the number 0 a natural or an integer number? - How do you  do calculus on round object like spheres or donuts? - If you could  change how we measure time, would you and to what? -

I've read that  their is/are giant clouds of (methyl) alcohol in space. Can it be a  possibility that those clouds of alcohol have to chance to potentially  "sanitize" microbes that one day could lead to complex and or  intelligent life? - Speaking of the Romans, do you think Latin is a  better language than English for science and mathematics? - How can we  get the slope of hills when the earth is round and not flat picture of a  curve? - How can one achieve file fragmentation in a filesystem  designed for archive files? For example how can one append x number of  sectors to a static list of Tar Posix Headers and file data sections. -  Do you have any ideas on how to solve protein folding? Would your math  research help with this problem? -
Is there a relation between the  classification of finite simple groups and your physics theory?
