Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series.
Questions include: What is imaginary about imaginary numbers and what do they represent? - How can you split an atom and why is it difficult? - Is making an arc reactor (iron man) possible? - Beryllium experiment resulted in a 5th force -> what is that and how does it work? - Are there more substances or elements that work like palladium? - Where does the energy come from to emit all these virtual gluons? - Are helium3 and moon minerals useful for fusion? - If a matter black hole collided with an antimatter black hole of the same mass, would the explosion be contained to a new black hole? - Is there anything special about the size of animals on earth that makes us conscious? Could the weather system on large planets, or galaxies be conscious? - How is something like a physical push or friction force explained in terms of the 4 fundamental forces? - Has a question about "hard light" been asked? As in keeping photons still. (not a light saber, or laser beam, but like hard light that you could "walk on". Something along those lines) - But it is still unknown whether antimatter gravitates or anti gravitates for certain? - Thank you for streaming Stephen! Do you prefer Stephen or Steve or something else?
