A Project to Find the Fundamental Theory of Physics by Stephen Wolfram
Released alongside the launch of the Wolfram Physics Project, this book provides a unique opportunity to learn about a historic initiative in science right as it is happening. The Wolfram Physics Project is a bold effort to use breakthrough new ideas and the latest in physics, mathematics and computation to find the fundamental theory of physics, often viewed as the ultimate goal in all of science. Written with Stephen Wolfram's characteristic expositional flair, the book includes both an accessible introduction to the project and its background, as well as core technical documents, and breathtaking visualisations that bring to life a dramatic new understanding of how our universe works.Stephen Wolfram was born in 1959 in the United Kingdom. He was schooled at Eton and Oxford, and at the age of twenty, he got his PhD in theoretical physics from Caltech. Wolfram received one of the first MacArthur prizes for his early work in particle physics, cosmology, and computer science. In 1981, Wolfram started working on the topic of complexity. Wolfram launched the first research center and the first journal devoted to the study of complexity after writing the series of papers included in this book.
He then founded Wolfram Research, Inc. in 1986 and began developing Mathematica. Mathematica, which was first released in 1988, has since become the industry standard software system for technical computation, with scientists, engineers, students, and others using it all around the world. Wolfram has won numerous accolades in the fields of science and business. He now splits his time between basic research and company leadership.
