Description
Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life and mind of one of the most influential figures in the world of computation and physics – Stephen Wolfram. Today, we are talking to Stephen Wolfram, founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha answer engine. We traced Stephen's academic journey from Eton College to Oxford and CalTech, covering milestones, first scientific papers at 15, and the shift from space to physics. Delving into chapters on his PhD, teaching at CalTech, and receiving the MacArthur Fellowship, Stephen shared insights on complex systems, mentorship, and encounters with figures like Richard Feynman and Steve Jobs. After exploring the creation and impact of Wolfram Alpha, the Wolfram Physics Project, and his current pursuits, we also gained insights into Stephen's productivity system, reflections on parenting, friendships, and Hollywood interactions. Throughout the episode, Stephen imparted wisdom and advice for fresh college graduates, leaving a profound mark on the sands of history.
