Since photons do not experience the passing of time, does that mean that all their physical properties, such as wavelength, are fixed throughout their lifespan? Do you think that it's worth investing and attempting cryonic suspension as a way to continue living? ​Why does time seem to speed up as we age? ​How can one learn physics or math at a young age? (organizing your life, order of topics, your experience as a young physics enthusiast) ​If the center of the earth is really hot lava like the sun, how come it isn't melting everything between us & it?

How to start a mega corporation? How do you retain the best people over the years? ​I heard, CEOs have actually no impact in large companies. ​How do you have a successful software company in this day with only 3 good ML engineers left? just saying I've heard WRI really needs to hire more ML experts, how do you do that when good ML ppl don't work for less than 150k ​How many people could someone lead? ​After starting a business, how do you know when you should secure an attorney? It's such a large expense but seems like an unavoidable necessity. ​ Any plans to take a trip into space? ​I am 17 right now. Do you think the USA is better than the UK for business and innovation? 2nd question: do you think its a good idea to start building companies in your 20s, or is it a better idea to first build (theoretical) experience and go for it later on? as in, what do you think of people in their early 20s building ML/AI startups? ​Do you have any heuristics on deciding when to stop or dramatically alter a long term and expensive research project? ​It is tempting to be very quantitative about measuring the output of your various projects and teams in Wolfram. tempting to try and optimize it can also leave people feeling like robots? Balance? Have you ever made any of your employees sign employee contracts with non-compete agreements? Are there any focused Research teams in Wolfram? Like full-time researchers on AI/ML? ​Are there any plans to open offices in Germany? ​You were very successful at a young age. How can one be confident towards older or more experienced people? ​What quality should we look in people to determine if working with them will improve us? ​​Do you have ideas for intermediate-scale projects / companies (maybe 25 or less people) that you aren't working on because they aren't compatible with Wolfram's size? ​​​Dear Stephen, what is your favorite chocolate? ​​​What was your reaction to getting the MacArthur grant? Was it exciting? What did you do with the money? (Was there money attached to it back then?) View Less »

Is there really such a thing as INFINITY or is it just a concept? Does Infinity have a magnitude? But is infinity really a mathematical object? It has no finite quantity. ​How can something without a finite quantity be used in a calculation/computation? What's the difference between counting numbers and counting processes? Is Rulial Space likely to be finite or infinite? ​How is it possible that infinity of integers is smaller than the infinity of floats? ​Why can't mules and zonkeys reproduce? What are the limits for different species of mammals breeding with one another? ​Is it 5 crossovers on average for everyone? Are memes on the internet, conceptually a species? So how is a specie determined just by visual features? Or maybe defined by breeding? Last question can genetic traits lay dorment for centuries millenias? Sort of recurring changes after x generations? View Less »

In your opinion, who is the most snubbed scientist / inventor? Mine would be Rosalind Franklin. Did you ever meet Martinus Veltman. Did you ever use his computer algebra system Schoonship? Were you associated with any of the other CAS systems like REDUCE, LAM, SHEEP, CADABRA at Cambridge? What computer language were you using when you were doing your early particle physics research? What do you think of Fortran and REDUCE? What is your perspective on Theranos? Did you have awareness / skepticism of the company before it collapsed? What are tensors and where did they originate from? (I use them for machine learning but don't even know what they are!) View Less »
