Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [March 26, 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: What are the biggest differences you notice about how physicists think vs. how mathematicians think? - A typical text file is a few KB, a typical audio file is a few MB, a typical video file is a few GB. What would a typical file size be for smell, taste and touch? Is there a reason why a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change? - Do you think there is a market for small rockets in Europe? - Would those LEO satellites block out sunlight? - If we keep getting more precision with atomic clocks, can we use a set of well placed atomic clocks to use gravity's effects on time to create a 3D map of some region of space (say to spy in a room, or see into the ground) to make out things with a centimeter feature?
