Stephen Wolfram's 10 ways to have big ideas
Stephen Wolfram is an extraordinary thinker.He doesn’t seem to think like other scientists. He doesn’t seem to think like other technologists. And he certainly doesn’t think like an academic.So I asked him how he thinks. How does he have all the ideas I’ve been exploring at The Last Theory?Here are 10 ways to have big ideas, derived from Stephen’s answer:Drill down to the foundationsExperiment with your ideasTry to understand your findingsHave the humility to doubt your expectationsHave the confidence to push ahead regardlessExplain your ideas to othersDiscuss your ideas with othersGet to know when an idea will take flightDon’t miss a step: imagine, experiment, explainVisualize your ideas—Stephen WolframStephen WolframThe Wolfram Physics ProjectWolfram InstituteWolfram Institute Community DiscordConcept mentioned by StephenComputational irreducibility—The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web MindI release The Last Theory as a video too!

Why are we in the universe we're in?
If physics is computational, then what gets computed when?This is a surprisingly deep question.The seemingly even computation of the universe gives us a clue, not just to the nature of time, but to the nature of the universe.And it leads us to a wider question:Why are we in the universe we’re in?Let me introduce you to three different answers to that question... sodifferent that they don’t even agree on whether one universe exists, or every possible universe exists.—ReferencesAnthropic PrincipleCreditsImage of Messier 101 galaxy by ESA/Hubble licensed under CC BY 4.0Image of galaxies by NASA, ESA, S.
