Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Questions include: What's that nested circular artifact on the shelf behind you (next to the spikey)? what math concept could it be used to teach? - Does the pattern of shell formation have a mathematical 'scheme'? - Do you think lifeforms have a baseline program that is informed and "coded" by our environment and experiences? if so is that baseline program evolving over generations or is it hard wired? - Epigenetics if you don't chew on hard food for hundreds of years your jaws will get small your teeth will be crooked you'll have trouble breathing at night Etc - How did butterflies with their 4-stage life cycle evolve, where only the last stage is capable of reproducing? - How do bean plants find their poles to climb up? - How would you recommend developing a work ethic to get into science and technology as someone who is younger and a beginner? - Why don't trees or plants resonate and break in high winds like tall buildings or towers?
