You kind of alluded to it in your introduction. I mean, for the last 300 or so years, the exact sciences have been dominated by what is really a good idea, which is the idea that one can describe the… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share Image
The thing that got me started on the science that I've been building now for about 20 years or so was the question of okay, if mathematical equations can't make progress in understanding complex phenomena in the natural world, how… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share Image
It has been proven that the universe is computationally equivalent to my ego. — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
The fact that the same symbolic programming primitives work for those as work for math kinds of things, I think, really validates the idea… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
Well, the first thing to say is that we've worked hard to maintain compatibility, so that any program written with an earlier version of… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
The most important precedents deal with the whole idea of symbolic programming - the notion of setting up symbolic expressions that can represent anything… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
What I realized is that if we're going to be able to have a theory about what happens in, for example, nature there has… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica and is widely regarded as the most important innovator in scientific and technical computing today. — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
“It's always seemed like a big mystery how nature, seemingly so effortlessly, manages to produce so much that seems to us so complex. Well,… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
“I'm committed to seeing this project done. To see if within this decade we can finally hold in our hands the rule for our… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
You kind of alluded to it in your introduction. I mean, for the last 300 or so years, the exact sciences have been dominated… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
People have been trying to do kind of natural language processing with computers for decades and there has only been sort of slow progress… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
...All the wonders of our universe can in effect be captured by simple rules, yet ... there can be no way to know all… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
There are a few very small incompatible changes - I really doubt most people will ever run into them. — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share
