The Wolfram Physics Project

[MiseryStreak]

This was launched a few days ago, and looks tremendously exciting:

Should give any budding physicists something to do during lockdown. That Stephen Wolfram is quite a smart chap isn’t he?

[peterperkins]

That looks interesting but I'm afraid it's beyond my comprehension.
Is it total balderdash or actual proper serious science?

Good luck to the boffins with it.

[MiseryStreak]

I don’t fully understand how it works either, as I’ve only read about an hour’s worth of the introduction, but it’s definitely not balderdash. It could very well end up with the discovery of a grand unified theory or ‘Theory of Everything’ in Physics.

I just find it awe-inspiring that somebody can create Wolfram Alpha (which if you ever use it is an incredible bit of software) and still find the time to create this pet science project on the side.

Saw that the other day. I’m ploughing through it with a very blunt plough...

There are very few things that can't be made better by a nice cup of tea and a spacial hypergraph........ '-)

The book's out for anyone interested.

I bought the book from a charity shop some time ago but my puny ape brain can't seem to get to grips with the concept. If anybody would like it ( to read, not just to sell on) I will send it to them for the cost of the post.

Yes please Geoff. I can PayPal you if you pm me your email.

Ooo, seeing Wolfram has just reminded of the WolframAlpha website we used to use it at uni to try and understand the maths problems int the engineering maths lectures. Great website!

I am not sure, but I dont think that is the same book.
