Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa

Questions include: With the benefit of hindsight, what would you have changed in the early developments of the internet during the late 60s, early 70s, if anything? - ​What was your take in 1993 when US Congress cancelled the Superconducting Super Collider project which had been started south of Dallas, TX? What long-term effects did this have? - Dr. Wolfram, I recall Sir. Kelvin or one of his contemporary was saying everything is discovered physics, it was just before special relativity. Do you think we are in a similar precipice? - I'm a cryogenic engineer if you want your brain stored for later in life, then please don't hesitate to contact me. Stephen, it would be an honor to store your brain!
