>Mathematician/Physicist Stephen Wolfram, founder of Wolfram Research and creator of the technical computation program Mathematica, has announced a discovery in the area of theoretical physics. His long-form blog post discusses the emergence of physical properties of our universe from what he describes as simple, universal, computable rules. He claims the emergent properties are consistent with relativity and quantum mechanics through a 448-page technical paper on the subject, which is posted on a completely new website that just went online.

Uno de los comentarios:
>I devoted most of today to reading Dr. Wolfram's blog post and technical papers, and I've had some time to digest this. I am very impressed. Yes, the size of his ego is basically infinite, but it's worth looking past that in order to gain real insight from what he proposes. From the perspective of an enthusiast researcher, at least, this appears to be a groundbreaking discovery in the area of theoretical physics and new ways of looking at many problems. I can forgive that it's also a long-form advertisement for Mathematica (full disclosure: I'm a Wolfram customer for Mathematica).

>I interpret his central theory as being that space is a lattice of infinitesimal nodes with relations between them defining "space," which emerge from a simple rule of substitution iterated around 10^500 times since the beginning of the universe. He explains a surprisingly large amount of properties and equations (including Einstein's equations, dark matter, the speed of light, etc.) using only the geometric and relational concepts he describes. It's truly impressive and I strongly believe this work has applications in, among other things, relational databases.

>He speculates that our universe is "approximately" three dimensional. That leaves an interesting question. Until reading his persuasive article, I refused to believe that we live in non-Euclidean space. But now I'm not sure anymore. If I had to guess, I think we're going to discover that there are "Pi" dimensions.

>He presents a novel theory that "oligons," which would be far smaller than the Planck length, are the source of dark matter halos around galaxies. He believes we are only scratching the surface and are looking at the "big" particles in the Standard Model. He presents arguments for why his estimates of the masses of particles are so small and what it means.

>You also get the sense that Dr. Wolfram is seriously dedicated to this cause; he is open-sourcing his research and tools plus internal video documenting the process. I was left with a sense of wonder that there are people like Dr. Wolfram out there who are dedicated enough to spend millions of dollars of their own money proving their research. Fortunately, he still has a lot of good years left and it seems like maybe a fundamental theory of everything is within reach, possibly even within his lifetime. It's obvious he wants to live to see it, and that is great to see.

Wolfram, el attention whore de la ciencia.

ya dale, pero qué tiene que ver eso con el anuncio

Lo estaré leyendo en estos dias de cuarentena. Parece ser un curso más de teoría de grafos (que tiene amplio uso en los cálculos computacionales) y ciertas especulaciones en sus artículos sobre su relación con ramas de la física.

lei la introducción a la explicación que está en su blog.
parece importante xd.
