    The sheer amount of people who've fallen asleep watching another video only to wake up and find this video playing is immense
  • @Automedon2
    I fell asleep to a vid on the first metal lathe and woke up, several lengthy math and physics videos later. I can't wait to see what ads Google will be pitching me for the next couple of days.
  • @thejohnjosh
    Anyone else woke up to this on autoplay at 2AM?
  • @TitaniumLegRay
    I COULD FALL ASLEEP TO ANYTHING ON YOUTUBE AND I ALWAYS SOMEHOW END UP WAKING UP TO A WOLFRAM VIDEO????
  • @onion2.076
    I fell asleep while watching YouTube and when I woke up this is what was playing.
  • @Calupp
    I was dreaming I was exploring a planet while some dude was talking to me about quantum computing and hyper drives and I woke up to this video.
  • @dosskyyy
    So we are all waking up to this video. Woke up to the part about the universe being a simulation and stayed in bed until i finished it
  • @sirhawkjames
    hearing this in my sleep gave me trippy fuckin dreams... about a group of people going through a series of increasingly difficult challenges from escaping a tsunami to surviving in space. there was terror, suspense, puzzle solving, logic, death, tears. i'm already forgetting but it was my best dream in a while. no one cares but thought i'd share the experience.
  • @abirhasan3937
    bro why the hell i wake up everytime with this video
  • @rydwan1233
    Unlike other people in the comment section. I didn’t fell asleep. Just turned off phone and after few minutes YouTube started playing this by itself!
  • @TaylorBrad100
    AMAZING. I'm here because of Javier Santaolalla one of the best Physicist of all time! I'm even Flipating! ;)
  • @OlleMattsson
    This is what it would have been like if someone like Newton or Einstein would have held podcasts. I feel truly privileged to be able to take part in this. Thank you Stephen!
  • @abithadani9860
    I fell asleep to a Vsauce video and woke up to this vid
  • “Different points in Branchial Space, their natural distance Metric is expressible as something as Entanglement Entropy.” Fascinating!
  • @Veayrua
    I woke up to this video and saw the comments in the morning. It is crazy how many people had the same experience.
  • @hankusage8105
    ELEGANCE IN YOUR TREMENDOUS EFFORT ALONE THANK YOU FOR SUCH VERY HARD WORK.
  • @rikelmens
    Talking about intellectually demanding topics for almost 4 hours straight without a drop in energy levels... impressive. Even more considering Stephen's age.

    Must say, I'm very impressed by humble Stephen Wolfram! What ever happens, if this project is leading to the unified theory or not, he is much more an inspiration than the typical physicist who is more concerned to appear as scientist, mostly by producing minor stuff which then gets blown big, who is mainly concerned of having a nice career, a nice pension, unearned reputation and not to bring physics to a new level. It's not only a waste of money also of creativity and a missed contributions to society which finances them. Think Wolfram is driven by a childlike interest, not mainly speculating to get a Nobel Prize some day. Being interested in physics since a long time, I started to detect an immense void inside the nothingness-loudspeakers in physics, who appeared ever more as emperors with no cloth, as uninspired pea counters, not having achieved much I'd say in the last 50 years, Krauss, Tyson, Carroll etc. Whereas ordinary people get impressed by some equations and complexity-talk, then putting these loudspeakers on high pedestals they don't deserve, I felt a rising skepticism towards such pretenders. We see lots of blinders in public with their nothing's. Shallow thinkers wanting to appear as new Einsteins. I think Wolfram is different here, smart, humble, interest driven, and if someone I know has the substance to expand Einsteins physics, its probably him and not the army of pea counters of orthodoxies.

    I fell asleep at "live stream will start shortly" Well done! Thx🎉
