Outline of Q&A
0:00 Stream starts
2:35 Stephen begins the stream
3:07 What appeared first in math, complex numbers or vectors? What is the relation between them? Would the square root of negatives be a problem if equations were developed with vectors instead of reg num?
35:56 Hi Wolfram. Can you tell a bit about the history of Real Variables, the Rational Numbers and why analysis was so important. Why not stick to integers. Why Cantor and Dedekind was so important. Thanks
41:02 What's the largest number you've ever used in a computation? Have you used anything bigger than Graham's number or Rayo's number?
43:30 moving from roman numerals to the numbers we use today helped merchants in those days, right? I believe that's what I read.
43:43 Was Tau used befor Pi?
45:32 Did Feynman overestimate Fredkin? Have the string theorists underestimated Fredkin?
1:03:07 Did you work much with Murray Gell-Mann? Any shareable stories?
1:19:14 What is your opinion on the resurgence of UFO's
