Stephen Wolfram hosts a live
Stephen Wolfram hosts a live and unscripted Ask Me Anything about science and technology for all ages. Find the playlist of Q&A's here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Originally livestreamed at: Twitch: stephen_wolfram
If you missed the original livestream of this episode, feel free to submit a question you would like Stephen to answer in a future Q&A livestream here: https://wolfr.am/12cczmv5J
00:00 Start stream
3:33 SW starts talking
3:44 May I ask a simple question? What aspects or elements of a probability distribution can be computed or quantified, and how are these computations used to describe the distribution?
28:21 Why are some creatures nocturnal? Why aren't humans?
35:04 Is the normal distribution related to the complexity of the dynamics, or is it found equally at all scales?
38:16 Does pi have a normal number distribution?
39:40 Google says the average human height is 5'9"\[LongDash]it's 5'10" in the US.
41:16 I read that there is a puzzle over why no new body plans developed since the Cambrian. In your machine learning view of adaptive evolution, what's happening here?
54:31 Apparently Japanese kids are getting taller, correlated with red meat consumption.
1:02:04 Do you think there are so many variables that it's impossible to figure out? Everyone knows about corn syrup, but there are also things like smoking was very common, etc.
1:07:58 What kinds of diseases that have afflicted humanity for almost all of our history would stunt growth?
1:12:05 If you consume less energy, your processes including various damage and aging slow down, right?
1:15:19 Could we have evolved out of needing an appendix because of diet?
1:20:21 Is it possible to measure somehow the intelligence of dinosaurs?
1:27:51 End stream
