Are there exact matches or just similarities between complexity in nature (bio, evolution), society (political, religious) and technology?
How did the development of atomic theory by scientists such as Democritus, Dalton and Rutherford influence our understanding of discrete structures and the behavior of matter at the atomic level?
How do historians know with certainty the identities of prominent historical figures? Could there have been more to the Socrates, Plato and Aristotle timeline?
Do the majority of historians of physics now have a favorable opinion of string theory?
Is there any scientific reason "pure maths" concepts are picked up by physics much later?
Do you find our lack of human history odd, considering how long we have lived on this planet?
With regards to notable people in history, humans seem to be completely obsessed with credit for their contributions—an interesting feature of the human ego. Taoist philosophy believes the Tao makes achievements and lays no claim to them.
Can we reconstruct the lost works in history with AI scraping through contemporary reference scripts and searching for the influence lost writings had on known writings?
That brings up the interesting point that there were likely MANY people "back there" who had amazing ideas that would have important applications today, but they didn't have the good fortune to be noticed and documented.
How did the concept of zero originate and evolve in mathematical history?
Do zero and infinity have the same origin?
Interesting, but if I had three ducks and gave them all to you, surely the ancients must have had some concept of what that left me with?
Speaking of string theory, what are for you the notable "dead-end paths" taken in the history of math/sci/tech? View Less »

Why use cloud computers if we could compute on the Moon? How could we get rid of the latency?
Would we consider artificially engineered protein-based organisms robots (or nanobots)?
Is it possible to design (sharpen) the brain by some kind of biological engineering?
How do you think Neuralink and similar tech will improve our lives? What would be the drawbacks?
Does the speed of the neuron influx limit the brain size?
In the future, how likely is it that physicists will be able to detect individual gravitons?
What are the latest innovations in battery technology, especially concerning alternatives to lithium and cobalt in energy storage systems?
I'm curious on your thoughts on the hologram tech that's right around the corner...

How do businesses adapt to changing technology? Are there existing strategies to combat roadblocks in development?
Is Wolfram Language much faster today than it was 35 years ago?
What has been the biggest or most notable technological advancement in your lifetime?
How do you think about the "buy" vs. "build" dilemma—notably for one so opinionated and driven to have it one's way as yourself, as opposed to being more compromising?
How do you think about and handle competition, be it business or technological competition (say LLMs vs. the Wolfram Language symbolic approach)?
Do you think having middle management in high-tech companies hinders innovation?
You just mentioned that someone can't build something that took 30 years to build. Do you think that will change with AI advancing enough to cut build timeframes by orders of magnitude?
Speaking of that area, what innovation and business lessons can be learned from Thinking Machines and such failed ventures?
Do you agree that technology is brimming with ideas and resources, many of which are free? This shift has transformed business approaches, with today's opportunities primarily centered around services.
I appreciate your approach to making software easy to use. I've used Oracle, SAP and JD Edwards ERP software and so much of it is overly complicated. We were tethered to them for support.
Any advice on starting a career in tech with everything moving at such a fast pace?
I've read about your endeavors, from writing books at 13 to earning a PhD at 20. How did you manage such accomplishments and cultivate the imagination needed for complex topics?
