Wolfram Physics Project: Why we Chose to do Science in the Open with Q&A on the Backstory

Stephen Wolfram & Jonathan Gorard continue answering questions about the new Wolfram Physics Project, this time specifically to answer questions about the backstory and why the project was chosen to be available publicly. Begins at 1:53

[@kenking145]

i dont know math but as a musician, this is interesting. everything youre saying is how would i articulte chord structure, scales, modes formula
and genres. also the perception of it and its ambiguity. fascinating

[@Chaosdude341]

Stephen, PLEASE upload that John Conway interview! He's one of my favorite mathematicians.

[@Sylosis333]

An open sourced approach to establish new first principle frameworks sounds like something we might look back on in the future with a "why didn't we think of that sooner" sentiment. Hope to see you on more podcasts to get the word out.

“THE NOW”, “Inspiration”, & “Free Range Honesty” look very good on
you Mr.Wolfram.
Kind Regards,

[@Sylosis333]

You should call the theory computational complementarity or comp comp (Comp2) for short. Since GR and QFT are emergant phenomena in the theory as far as I understand it.

[@simonmasters3295]

Fascinating
I can hardly believe what I am seeing and hearing
I will start with the book

[@stormwalker321]

really awesome, thank you Wolfram

[@tarkajedi3331]

This is how science should be done!!! Open Science means we can watch the ideas take flight and their evolution in real time and maybe even contribute)))

[@xemy1010]

BTW, for anyone who's noticed that there's over an hour of video missing here for some reason, the full stream is on Twitch. EDIT - they fixed it :)

[@ToriKo_]

@Lumitopia thanks!

[@Chaosdude341]

The VOD on Twitch appears to be the same length, so I believe you are mistaken.

[@xemy1010]

@@Chaosdude341 Looks like they fixed it - for hours after the livestream yesterday, the length here on youtube was under two hours and the first hour was missing.

Here is my name suggestion for the field: Rulics

[@rv706]

With the danger that all this will became Relics... Who knows, I'm excited to see if this circle of ideas will really become our fundamental theory of physics :)

[@Anders01]

I propose the name Computics for the new kind of science. And the definition of computics is that it involves models that can be directly computed. Not indirectly calculated such as the three-body problem in physics where only approximations can be done for general solutions.

4000 years Philosophy Questioning vs 300 years Mathematical Equations vs 30 Years Computational Universality = We are still looking forward to what could be the best approach to understand and figure out the Basic Connecting Unit of Everything.

[@adamgolding]

1:10:00 but you've built the impossibility of backwards time-travel into the system?

[@alexwilson8034]

My name for the theory is: unicompution
Also you’ve discovered like Terrance McKenna that language IS reality, which really impresses me. So maybe a name like “biblio-techno” or “compulinguistics”

NKS = “Creative use of Game Mechanics” ^.^

Was rather impressive.

[@andrewkelley7062]

Just wondering if anyone has found anything analogous to friction or drag. Sort of in a golf ball in air scenario.

[@danielb8152]

My guess is that falls under the energy category.

[@andrewkelley7062]

@@danielb8152 more of how energy on different levels interacts. Like how light waves interact just in the form physical means. Like how a car can ride smooth on a bumpy rode or be forced above it because of the bumps.
