A New Kind of Science – Stephen Wolfram
Wolfram’s new kind of science is already 7 years old – not quite new anymore, but still interesting. Has he found a whole new way of looking at processes in our universe? Well, scientists have always tried to find simple explanations for complex phenomena. Yet only a few have considered cellular automata as a good way to find such explanations. And even less have examined cellular automata as deep as Wolfram has. Judge yourself:
This is a cool video. I think anyone interested in NKS beyond a reading of the book should check out the NKS Forum (and has questions they’d like to have answered), and the NKS Summer School.
