When will we run out of scientific innovations? Is there a limit to technology?
Is it possible to build a place without gravity?
Do you think there is anything between the known particles (and Planck length 10^-33) and your hypergraphs (at length 10^-93), such as another set of "elementary" particles?
Will technology allow for one true universal language [for the deaf, blind, romance languages, Arabic languages, Asian languages, computer languages, etc...], eliminating the need for translations?
Who is the leader in information technology at the moment (my guess is China!)?
Is there a relationship between computational irreducibility and the uncertainty principle from Quantum Mechanics?
Is there a formal definition of Number?
Why all electrons are same?
What temperature does a laser have?
How does a laser work?
How can galaxies retain their shape for billions of years?
It would be really interesting to observe the effect of a logic-based language on the cognitive development of children.
Will it be possible to tell a joke in a symbolic discourse language. Who (and what) may find it funny?
You once said that when you were starting out, Feynman gave you a collection of his mathematical tricks for integration, which you didn't end up using. Have you published this? I would really really like to see his notes!
