Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series. Questions include: Why is that the sunspot cycle is important for shortwave radio? - ​What aspects of the origin of life would be interesting to investigate with current computing tools? - How does 3d printing work and what is its potential? - How do you think like a mathematician or scientist? I have read and heard that math and science take a different mental process than what we are shown at school. What skills should I be building? - Do you think we could see a day when people are taught/educated by AI and computers, either with or instead of people and what do you think of this, especially when compared to education today? - What is the difference between science and philosophy?
