1:09-6:04 How often do separate ideas emerge (like convergent evolution) and merge to either compliment each other or "make whole" ideas that didn't have all the answers themselves?
6:06-11:55 What surprises you most about the history of science and technology? What is there to learn?
11:57-29:55 What's the history of timekeeping? How did civilizations create the calendar and clocks? What science supports this?
30:14-32:46 Ok, but how would you keep track of time/sync up your devices? Today it's easy with electronic devices... I'm imagining my microwave and stove clock always being a minute or two out of sync from manually setting it.
32:51-34:39 How did you get to know so much, and in such depth, about such vastly disparate historical topics? Seems this could be fascinating to hear about in and of itself.
34:45-39:11 Wow, great question. makes me think maybe blockchains are the evolution of agreed upon ledgers in one single agreed upon time.
39:22-49:40 Do you think the fourier transform is fundamental to nature, historically, it appears in quantum field theory, quantum computing, signal processing, etc.?
49:59-53:39 When did time become an important variable in science?
54:25-58:24 Why do you suppose no one tried to continue with Nikola Tesla's incomplete inventions?
58:52-1:09:43 As a software engineer, I discover elegant academic programming languages all the time, but they never seem to gain much traction in industry. On the other hand, we have languages like Javascript, which was pretty much developed as a prototype but is now ubiquitous in web development. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on this history of "organic" development of programming languages.
1:10:00-1:13:39 Are there any pros to using "historical" technology? Or is newer always better?

What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound?
In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe.
Stephen Wolfram is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades, he has pioneered the development & application of computational thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions & innovations in science, technology, and business.
He argues that time is the inevitable progress of computation in the universe, where simple rules can lead to complex behaviors. This concept, termed computational irreducibility, implies that time has a rigid structure and that our perception of it is limited by our computational capabilities. Wolfram also explores the relationship between time, space, and gravity, suggesting that dark matter might be a feature of the structure of space.
Tune in to discover the true nature of time.
Key Takeaways:
00:00:00 Intro
00:00:51 The true nature of time
00:24:42 The role of computational irreducibility in thermodynamics
00:29:52 The Ruliad and the nature of observers
00:53:28 The role of gravity in the computational universe
01:06:14 Dark matter and the discreteness of space
01:12:54 Paradigm shifts in science and technology
01:20:18 Exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB)

1:26 If your last name was something like Smith, would you still have named your company after your name or gone with something different? How does one decide that, are there certain criteria to fit so there aren't a bunch of "Smith" companies?
15:47 Actually, now that i think about it, it's strange we don't have a dozen 'Einstein incorporations.
16:49 Reminds me of the old Dilbert series where the pointy-haired-boss says "The name of the project is the most important thing!" before they even know what the product will be
18:32 So a name is like a joke, if you have to explain it then it does not work?
23:25 Little like 'complex numbers'. Just the name sounds scary to students.
27:35 Can names be copyrighted?
29:16 What role does AI play in brainstorming or generating company names? Will AIs start naming and running their own company?
31:11 With a name like Wolfram people will think physics. Wolfram is becoming synonymous with cutting edge physics.
32:04 Are there any specific naming conventions or patterns that tend to perform well in the tech industry?
38:10 Have you tried asking an LLM for business advice?
39:56 Do you think trends in naming, like all the '-ify' startups, will hurt a brand in the long run?
41:20 What advice would you give to a computer scientist that wants to pursue synthetic biology?
45:24 That's important to have a way to gage biological evolution as a state of increasing complexity.
46:57 How do you determine how innovative something is? What are the key criteria for assessing innovation?
55:37 What's the best way to test a business idea before going all in?
1:00:04 I have experienced trouble at university learning electrical engineering. I can now understand the intent to teach the intuition in EE is not translated to coherent actions, by the teachers. What are the pitfalls experts should avoid in order to maximize the quality of their teaching?
1:05:42 I've always wanted to sequence my genome! its amazing we have made this possible!

,1,Through his actions in 2016, “Mitch McConnell brought about the election of someone who, in almost every particular, he deplored,” conservative columnist George Will says in this excerpt from the new FRONTLINE documentary "McConnell, the GOP & the Court."
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
Among those actions: Blocking any Senate consideration of then-President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee after Justice Antonin Scalia died months before the 2016 presidential election -- and later placing his support behind Trump, framing Scalia's Supreme Court seat as a central issue, as this excerpt explores.
“There was a lot of skepticism on the right of what Donald Trump was, and holding that Supreme Court seat open just as a political matter reminded Republicans, we can’t leave to chance that Hillary Clinton might put a liberal on the court,” Scott Jennings, a McConnell political adviser, says in the excerpt.
“McConnell, the GOP & the Court” traces the path to power of an unlikely political leader who has dramatically reshaped the Supreme Court — and whose decisions helped usher in an era of deep polarization in both the U.S. and the Republican party.
"McConnell, the GOP & the Court" premieres Tues., Oct. 31 on PBS and on YouTube: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/mcconnell-the-gop-the-court/
“McConnell, the GOP & the Court” is a FRONTLINE production with the Kirk Documentary Group. The director is Michael Kirk. The producers are Michael Kirk, Mike Wiser and Vanessa Fica. The writers are Michael Kirk and Mike Wiser. The reporter is Vanessa Fica. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.
