Science was transformed by math centuries ago. What can we expect AI to be able or unable to do for science? 5:01 The Hard Limit of Computational Irreducibility This constrains what AI can do. Stephen ...

Not everyone lays claim to inventing an new way of thinking scientifically about the world. Last year, Stephen Wolfram, who developed the popular technical computing software Mathematica, published a ...

What if the very nature of human thought—our creativity, intuition, and ability to connect ideas—was both our greatest strength and our most glaring limitation? In an era where artificial intelligence ...

Stephen Wolfram, a physicist, computer scientist and founder of Wolfram Research, has been hunting for a theory of everything since his first days as a particle physicist at Caltech. Wolfram put that ...

Stephen Wolfram--wunderkind, untamed scientist--possesses a mind that is uncluttered by daydreams and everyday intrusions. ("The Super Bowl? What's that?" he once asked a colleague.) His brain turns ...

Stephen Wolfram, the brains behind Mathematica and A New Kind Of Science (NKS), believes that his latest project, WolframAlpha, has a good chance to gain traction in the crowded and highly competitive ...

Stephen Wolfram introduced the knowledge-based Wolfram Language earlier this year. It extends the work he started with Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha to let people solve problems at an extremely ...
