Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [June 26, 2020]

Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an ongoing livestream series.

Questions include: What actually happens with my computer when it crashes? - How come that the humidity inside the cloud is 100% and right next to it is practically zero? What is the answer to that? - What is your opinion Leonhard Euler or Albert Einstein? - How important is money in science? - Is there a maximum limit on temperature based on the fact that particles cannot reach or exceed the speed of light? - How to choose what to work on? - Any advice for someone who has just graduate college with a STEM degree and is interested in graduate school? I'm interested in molecular biology/biochemistry if relevant. - What/who is Nicolas Bourbaki, and how was it created? - Do you think only rich people can "do" science?
