Stephen Wolfram and collaborators propose a new approach to physics based on discrete automata. Cool and fun! But: please please don’t get too excited until others look it over. Science

Time for some physics.So. Stephen Wolfram published an article detailing a new way of doing physics, in which he imagines the universe as forming from very simple rules that act

Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" is a 1,280p opus on physics, math, human behavior, and most of all, cellular automata. We live in an age where nobody reads

Physics Twitter! Who is doing a blow-by-blow of the Wolfram preso? Box of cargo has fallen from the sky. Tribe investigating magical items.

The TLDR from Wolfram's announcement:1. It is not a theory of everything - as he says- but a path to get to one2. It's possible to define notions of time,

0) So, cool — Wolfram is hypothesizing our universe is a bunch of discrete relations defining a hypergraph, and it works via graph rewriting ruleshttps://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-phys

so @ethanhs is new to Mathematica and was wondering why array indexing starts at 1and the reason behind it is actually pretty weird and due to some interesting language design

i love me some graph theory, but this huge Wolfram post about his idea for a "fundamental theory of physics" seems like he got carried away with it. A lot

SFI took Turing seriously, and provided big, generative answers for what it might mean for something to "compute". Physically, chemically, biologically, cognitively, economically, socially. Networks, CAs, long tails, scaling—a long

I've been wondering what Wolfram has been up to in his basement since 2002. Now we know. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/ https://twitter.com/WKCosmo/st

Friday physics fun: in 1778 Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon estimated that the Earth was 97,000 years old. He did it by heating metal spheres in his foundry and measuring
