Stephen Wolfram gives a brief history of physics from Aristotle to Newton to Einstein and beyond---including simple conceptual explanations, historical footnotes and a few ideas about the future of the field.

In this episode, Stephen Wolfram, founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and creator of Wolfram|Alpha, celebrates his 60th Birthday by addressing the "what's next" question followed by an AMA.

Stephen Wolfram revisits the film '2001: A Space Odyssey' fifty years since its release. Stephen takes a look at what the movie got right about technology, space travel, and AI based on his blog post "Learning about the Future from '2001: A Space Odyssey,' Fifty Years Later."
