How do tornadoes form?
Why does a fan create white noise?
Is that how they produced the audio from our galaxy's supermassive black hole?
Fans also generate a different speed of flow radially, as the linear speed is lower closer to the center of the blades than the outside.
I think they were actually to measure distortion in gas. I thought they were synthetic, but it seems like they managed to actually measure sound waves in distant gas.
Why are roads made of tarmac?
Is there anything certain modern physics can say about dark matter/energy? What exactly is it?
Does dark matter interact with gravity?
If dark matter particles exist, then why are there no dark matter halos associated with our Sun and with the planet Jupiter?
What's a graviton?

What's your rule of thumb for launching a product (for yourself and for others)? Minimum viable product? Quantum of utility? Other?
How did you deal with the boring aspects of developing a product (e.g. marketing, sales) when you didn't have people to delegate to?
Would the academic environment be a place where a researcher and inventor could pursue their own research, or at least make some profit from developing patents and designs? I am in the US, just about to start a master's, and am considering starting a PhD in materials science.
How do you think Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) will evolve as candidates increasingly try to "trick" them by using keywords in their resumes?

Did any ancient unit systems use base 10, or did they all use more easily dividable bases like 12, 20, 60, etc.?
What is the history of design patterns in software engineering? How did people come to them?
Did you ever meet Niklaus Wirth, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, Alan Kay and/or Paul Allen?
Have Julia sets and Fatou sets played a significant role in the development of computer programming languages?
Agreed. Computer programming languages should be object oriented for the language and structure to make sense instead of coming off as abstract and convoluted, and also so they are easier to work with and learn.
Did eighteenth-century engineers/craftsmen make use of the paradigm of Newtonian mechanics?
Why is it that Isaac Newton spent most of his time trying to prove theological ideas?
When will Moore's law expire? Apple announced four-nanometer chip technology, and there has to be a limit.
I wonder whether the future will be multicomputational, but to be honest, computers nowadays are more than powerful enough for the average user.

Stephen knows and remembers so much! Any hints on memory techniques and how to learn in general, and especially in math and physics as an adult?
What do you think of shifts in perspective as a source of discoveries in science? Is there any place for discoveries based on questioning the status quo?
Of the smartest people you have had a chance to communicate with, who stands out the most and why?
How do you spend money in a wise way? Do you have some heuristics?
What technology would you keep away from your children, and for how long?
What might be the best investment opportunities over the next 20 years?
Someone said if you hear good reviews of your product from other people, then you have succeeded. If you don't hear any feedback from others, that is usually a bad sign.
You mentioned investing in ideas. What is your metric for investing in an individual with an idea? For instance, are the Wolfram Winter and Summer Schools places for you to find those people to invest in?
Is there any technological innovation that you are anticipating or hoping is coming in the next few years?
What was it like handling the business side of things, being a creator? Was it something you liked or just did out of necessity? Was it hard or easy? Did you do it all yourself, get help or just hire someone else more savvy and in the know to do it entirely?
What are techniques for developing intuition, in particular when working with really abstract concepts like those found in math, physics or even business?
