A few days ago, I had an incredible conversation with Stephen Wolfram.

We talked about so many aspects of Wolfram Physics, from the low-level – space, time, matter – through the high-level – observers, consiousness, the ruliad – to the meta-level – knowledge, creativity, how Stephen thinks.

I’m excited to share with you the first excerpt from our conversation, in which Stephen reveals that his first major wow along the path towards a fundamental theory of physics was his realization that General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the same theory, played out in different kinds of space.

Further excerpts to follow!

Thanks to everyone who proposed questions I might ask Stephen Wolfram. I was unable to ask them all, but every one of them informed the directions in which I took the conversation.
