1:24 SW starts talking
1:48 ​​​​Can machine learning find a pattern in all animal languages?
13:36 Cat: "Meow." Translation: "What a glorious day to be alive. I think I will frolic in the fields and catch myself some field mice for my tea. Then I shall sit down and ponder the nature of the universe."
14:18 What is time?
39:54 ​​If the rules repeat a state, does that mean time has gone backwards?
41:24 ​​​​So less computation allowed for the progression of time? Time slows down the faster you go?
48:09 Communication speed between Mars and Earth is not instantaneous. So wouldn't both the sender and the receiver never have real-time data of what was happening on both planets? We on Earth may only find out that something terrible happened on Mars after it's too late, correct?
56:07 ​​Is there an "objective" time in Wolfram physics? Is the "frame rate" the same everywhere?
57:29 How do I prove that matter is made of atoms?
1:07:43 How would you solve 100/4(2+3)?
