Episode description

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

Questions include: Hi Stephen, you have said that you doubt whether quantum computers will ever work. Why do I read so often that another quantum computer was built with so and so many qbits? - We know there are more than three dimensions? - What is quantum tunneling? - Why is the 3-body problem so hard to solve? - Who is your favourite Manhattan project Scientist? I was reading about Stanislaw Ulam did you ever meet him? -
Have you ever considered teaching other subjects besides math? What subjects? - What do you know about Ettore Majorana? -
I'd be curious to hear what your thoughts are on Music Theory and Composition. Are you familiar with Dmitri Tymoczko at Princeton? -
Can you explain Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem? - 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?
