Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [October 23, 2020]

Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series.

Questions include: I was wondering about your thoughts on Claude Shannon, information entropy, and information theory in general. I believe this field is responsible for so much technology and progress around us, but doesn't get its due praise in the mainstream. - What books / exercises are best to take me from a high school level physics / mathematics understanding to being able to make sense of the wolfram physics model? - Why is the core of the Earth as hot as the surface of the sun? Fusion or fission? Is this true of many planets/moons in our solar system? - What good and bad aspects are there to being financially successful? How did your life change when you first became a millionaire? - If you got a chance to talk to Richard Feynman, right now in 2020, and ask only one question, what would it be? - It is 'easy' to make a bot for every video game? How god ant-bot detection methods can be? - What outreach do you do for students in a similar situation as I was in, to help people succeed as I did? Any plans on increasing that outreach?
