The Last Theory

It’s all about the animations.I’ve been coding coding coding the few weeks to develop my simulations of Wolfram Physics.So now I’m able to explore a number of simple rules and ask a number of simple questions.What different rules could be applied to our universe?What different universes would arise from these rules?Today, I explore different rules, different universes.Today’s episode includes a lot of visuals, so you might prefer to read the article, or watch the video, where they’re fully animated.If you missed Episode #002, Nodes, edges, graphs & rules: the basic concepts of Wolfram Physics, you can find the article here and the video here.

Wolfram Physics might be the most fundamental scientific breakthrough in your lifetime.And yet you’ve probably never heard of it.Here’s why.—Albert Einstein’s 1905 papersStephen Wolfram’s project to find the fundamental theory of physicsStephen Wolfram’s 2020 announcementThere are maybe half a million physicists in the world—Prefer to watch the video?

Are you ready?Today, I’m going to dive right into Wolfram Physics.If you’ve never heard of Stephen Wolfram or his team’s project to find the fundamental theory of physics, don’t worry.Think of it like this: I’m going to dive right into the fundamental structure of the universe.And, well, you might not believe that the words “simple” and “physics” can go together, but I’m going to keep it simple.Today’s episode includes a lot of visuals.You can find them in the article, or you might want to switch to watching the video, where they’re fully animated.

I always envy those people who, through a fantastic stroke of luck, find themselves to be exactly the right person in exactly the right place at exactly the right time to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.I always ask myself, why can’t that happen to me?Well, it just did.Let me explain.In this week’s episode, I discuss why I’m writing about Wolfram Physics.I’ll be digging into the details, as well as taking a step back to see some of the philosophical implications, in future episodes.Prefer to watch the video?

Welcome to The Last Theory, an easy-to-follow exploration of what might be the last theory of physics.In 2020, Stephen Wolfram launched the Wolfram Physics Project to find the elusive fundamental theory that explains everything.On The Last Theory, I investigate the implications of Wolfram’s ideas and dig into the details of how his universe works. Join me for fresh insights into Wolfram Physics every other week: subscribe to the free newsletter, podcast or YouTube channel at lasttheory.comAfter all, this might be the most fundamental scientific breakthrough of our time.
