Episode 8
I’ve been running simulations of our universe, according to Stephen Wolfram’s computational theory of physics.
Where’s the computer that runs these simulations?
Well, it’s right here. This a low-powere…

What is physics? the how and the why
Episode 5
I like being asked questions about Wolfram Physics.
When I try to answer them, though, I often find myself trapped in an infinite regress.
To address a question about Wolfram Physics, I might first nee…

Different rules, different universes
Episode 4
It’s all about the animations.
I’ve been coding coding coding the few weeks to develop my simulations of Wolfram Physics.
So now I’m able to explore a number of simple rules and ask a number of simple …
