Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [October 2, 2020]


Listen Later

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

Questions include: Do you think that neurons work more as a mechanical system or rather on quantum level? Is computational power done by the neural network or more by the microtubules? - It has been argued that the majority of published research findings in science are false (i.e., overfitting). Since you have read 100s of research papers, has this been your experience? Are there fields where the academic research is generally of higher quality? - Is it possible to slow climate change by creating like a layer of clouds to lower temperature by a bit? - How do birds fly and why is it so hard to completely understand and mimic it? -

What does it mean when a paper is peer review. Who are the peers? -
I want to teach science for my 3 years old sister, what subjects do I teach? - Regarding climate change, if all of the glaciers melt, how will coastal cities keep the water back? - How many hours of sleep you get?
