00:00:00 Introduction
00:01:11 Looking at Stephen Wolfram’s Educational journey
00:05:39 Things learnt in school are actually useful!
00:06:34 Particle Physics and Stephen’s early years
00:11:39 Stephen Wolfram’s first paper
00:16:19 Using computers for algebraic calculations
00:22:00 Launching his own company
00:23:00 Starting to study cellular automata
00:26:30 The importance of using technology to help advance physics
00:28:14 The advice Stephen would give to his teenage self
00:30:00 The importance of choosing the right problems
00:35:44 Stephen’s views on ‘modern’ physics
00:38:21 Ruliology and A New Kind of Science
00:40:56 Working on a generalisation of calculus?
00:45:16 Applying learnings from the Physics Project to other fields such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Economics
00:50:00 Physics as a remarkable export field
00:54:24 History of tools to describe the universe
00:55:17 Computation as a very general paradigm & Wolfram Language
01:00:12 Wolfram Summer Camp
01:02:40 The possibility of a special relativity of economics
01:06:21 Live streaming and open source nature of the Physics Project
01:09:18 The concept of the Ruliad
01:15:28 Taking measurements and moving through Ruliad Space?
01:22:00 Quantum mechanics and relatively - a beautiful symmetry
01:34:00 Thank you and goodbye
