Stephen Wolfram: Computing a theory of all knowledge

Computing a theory of all knowledge

Exploring the computational universe reveals simple programs with complex behaviors, offering insights into nature's complexity.

Wolfram Alpha aims to make all knowledge computational, transforming how we interact with information and understand the world.

The search for the universe's rule within the computational cosmos could redefine our understanding of physics and reality itself.
