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: If you couldn't be a human, what animal would you want to be and why? - What technology is necessary for us humans to be able to provide an evolutionary "update" to any of our sensory organs? - Are there any implication of standardizing the identification of chemical signatures of odours? - Is the fact that L-glucose and D-glucose taste the same mean that taste is not sensitive to chirality? - Can the spectrometry for smell and taste be based on a saline scale? - Do the neurons in the brain form a spatial manifold? Are the connections mostly local or non local? - What happens with people with diabetes?
