Stephen's conversations are always worth taking the time to absorb. Richard Feynman was inspirational. He inspired me to pursue physics as a hobby after an education in electrodynamics, electromagnetism, electronics, programming and logic. IMO His playful approach to problems backed by his wealth of classical knowledge allowed him to become one of the most clever and innovative scientists in modern times. I wish the man was still alive today. I would have loved to have a conversation with him and bounce some of my ideas off of him. I still, to this day, watch his archived lectures and it never gets old.

I saw his sister saying that when he understood something it was so deep that it became intuitive for him.

Stephen Wolfram - Truly magnetic!

No, he's not magnetic. It's just the electromagnetic field that he occupies 😂

Take a drink every time Stephen says "physics" or "a bunch of" 😮. Great talk

Feynman said "You should just work on physics." "There's quite a funny story he wrote to you in a letter, tell us about that." Feynman said "You should just work on physics."

Mark Ludwig was a classmate of Stephen Wolfram - that was news to me. --Wikipedia(Mark Ludwig). "Richard Feynman and The Connection Machine" --W. Daniel Hillis for Physics Today

Lol @7:38, Wolfram claiming he doesn't remember Feynman's letter to him. Of course he does. He's written about it numerous times (on his blog) and it's only a few short paragraphs long. There is of course a good reason why Wolfram claims not to remember it that well-- Feynan is rather passive-aggressive in the letter. Essentially, among ither things, he advises Wolfram against creating his own organization because he he will always look down on everybody else as as "stupid"

Must be maddening working with Gell-Mann. He's always forgetting things.

It's not as bad as all that, because mainly what he forgets is how stupid you are.

i wonder what they would have accomplished as a complimentary team

As opposed to insulting, yeah.

Hard to say if they would have been better or not. Sometimes people need a professional adversary to push them forward. It's also difficult for two such remarkably successful men, each with strong personalities and lots of pride, to collaborate. I speak from observation, not personal experience. Sadly. :)

Heh. It's not like Stephen Wolfram is a KZbinr. The verbal tics are edited out of his books.

Isn't that common among British people?

@@JJGhostHunters Not really, no. I think some have picked it up from TV media -- and we watch a lot of USA-made TV;) Currently there i an epidemic here of folk saying "like" every damned sentence, which drives me mad. The yutes are mainly afflicted by this. Again, probably picked up from the media and music stars.
