Science & Technology Q&A for Kids (and others) [November 5, 2021]

From The Stephen Wolfram Podcast Wolfram Research

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

Questions include: How does a short wave radio signal go completely around the world? - Will new logic or mathematics operators might be invented/discovered? - Why do we have 2 different things such as (numbers + operators , data + algorithms) and why do we represent many things with those 2 things? Why not 3? Why not 4? Why not 1? - What's the difference between CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, ASICs? - How viable is a big numerical reverse database to identify closed forms of real numbers such Plouffe's inverter?
