Stephen Wolfram Q&A, For Kids (and others) [October 30, 2020]

Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series. Questions include: Where were you in the dot com bubble burst and your wisdom was needed? - What work did you do at Bell labs? Who did you meet? - Was it the need in telephone grid that drove the innovation of the transistor? - How many shirts do you own? - Are there any string theorists who believe that nature is finite and digital? - Great scientists typically have great students. Is it because something is transferred from a teacher to a student or because talented people try to reach outstanding supervisors? - What age do you think is the best age to start coding? and why? - Hi Dr. Wolfram, what does it mean 'correlation does not imply causation'? - Dr. Wolfram, can you give an example what you will do with Wolfram language if you were 13 years old?
