Episode description

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 does the concept of the ruliad say about teleportation? ​​​- So are we experiencing a single state of the universe, or are we sampling different branches to build our experience? ​​​- ​If the speed of light emerges from propagation through discrete emes, then does the speed of light vary slightly? Could this be experimentally validated? ​​​- I've listened to live neurons in a lab, amplified and made audible—very strange experience. - It would be the ultimate biofeedback experience to visually see one's own neuronal activations spatially. Engineering that might be tricky for a while. - Would there be, in theory, a way to measure your relative position in rulial space? - How do new concepts get created and integrated in the mind of humanity? What makes them robust over 1,000+ years?
