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: Why does an electron fall or lower orbit to its "normal" state after having being in an exited state - ​What does infinite amount of integers and decimals between two integers tell about the nature of the world? -  What is a time Crystal? - What is your opinion on the technological and economic feasibility of asteroid mining? - How does sophisticated philosophy relate to sophisticated math, in the thinking processes underlying them and the intellectual firepower in effect? - How did your mother and father encourage your own pursuits in science? -  ​If knowing absolutely nothing is represented with 0 and knowing everything is represented with 1, where do you think human race is at this moment and what are its limits of knowledge? - What could knowing the machine code of the universe unlock in technology?
