Episode notes
Shifting Perspective to Events
- Wolfram Physics shifts perspective from the universe to the events changing it.
- These events are rule applications transforming one hypergraph into another.
Nature of Causal Edges
- Causal edges represent necessary preceding events, not strict cause-and-effect.
- This limited causality defines the causal graph.
Einstein's Relativity
- Einstein's thought experiment with observers on a train and platform questions simultaneous events.
- This led to the postulate of the constant speed of light and special relativity.
