Description
Have you ever wondered what it's like to get a PhD in Physics at twenty and win a MacArthur Award at 21? You'll get to find out with this episode's interview of Remarkable People with Stephen Wolfram. Saying he is a "physicist" is like saying Labron James is a "basketball player." If you're a math geek, you've probably used a product he created called Mathematica. He's also built a knowledge engine called Wolfram Alpha that you have used in Siri, Alexa, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
