“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, I think we found its secret. It's just sampling what's out there in the computational universe.” — 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

“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
