Wolfram Physics Project Launch

The sheer amount of people who've fallen asleep watching another video only to wake up and find this video playing is immense

I fell asleep to a vid on the first metal lathe and woke up, several lengthy math and physics videos later. I can't wait to see what ads Google will be pitching me for the next couple of days.

I fell asleep while watching YouTube and when I woke up this is what was playing.

Anyone else woke up to this on autoplay at 2AM?

So we are all waking up to this video. Woke up to the part about the universe being a simulation and stayed in bed until i finished it

I COULD FALL ASLEEP TO ANYTHING ON YOUTUBE AND I ALWAYS SOMEHOW END UP WAKING UP TO A WOLFRAM VIDEO????

I was dreaming I was exploring a planet while some dude was talking to me about quantum computing and hyper drives and I woke up to this video.

I fell asleep to a Vsauce video and woke up to this vid

hearing this in my sleep gave me trippy fuckin dreams... about a group of people going through a series of increasingly difficult challenges from escaping a tsunami to surviving in space. there was terror, suspense, puzzle solving, logic, death, tears. i'm already forgetting but it was my best dream in a while. no one cares but thought i'd share the experience.

bro why the hell i wake up everytime with this video

Fell asleep watching yt and this is what I wake up to

AMAZING. I'm here because of Javier Santaolalla one of the best Physicist of all time! I'm even Flipating! ;)

This is what it would have been like if someone like Newton or Einstein would have held podcasts. I feel truly privileged to be able to take part in this. Thank you Stephen!

“Different points in Branchial Space, their natural distance Metric is expressible as something as Entanglement Entropy.” Fascinating!

3:38:10 @Wolfram wow, that is a once in a generation intellectual achievement. One comment. You don't have to bake the forward direction of the update rule into your assumptions. Causal edges can indicate that two states are causally consistent, but transitions can be bidirectional. That corresponds to the microscopic time symmetry in physics. The arrow of time arises statistically because the graph is tapered at one end and wide at the other. We are big subgraphs and we drift to what we call later time because there are more causal edges leading there. That also answers why the initial condition was simple: It doesn't need to be, the causal adjacency graph tapers at one end, that we call the past, and fans out the other end that we call the future, regardless where you start. The 2nd law of thermodynamics is derived from conservation of information. The simplest graph causally consistent in the past is the big bang and the irreducible information content of the universe. The 2nd law says that states become larger and larger by iterating the causal rule, but no new information is added. There's a bit more proof and formalism to add, so I'll join and express this fully.

I woke up to this playing on my phone….

Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to fall asleep while listening to something that doesn’t make him feel alone, and doesn’t make him overthink in silence

I fell asleep at "live stream will start shortly" Well done! Thx🎉

I'm not a physicist by any means but my curiosity has led me here after reading the memo. I'm not sure if this is already covered in the broader materials but the two-slit experiment may be a great example of this for the average enthusiast : - develop a sample rule to build space - illustrate how light occupies that space in discrete time steps spreading out leading to the wave pattern - show how the impact of "quantum measurement" by an observer can "freeze time" in a quantum frame leading to the slit pattern

Talking about intellectually demanding topics for almost 4 hours straight without a drop in energy levels... impressive. Even more considering Stephen's age.
