A new kind of science

About “A new kind of science”

This non-fiction work by Stephen Wolfram presents new findings based on computer experiments, illustrated with striking graphics. The results of these experiments lead to a new perspective on how the universe operates. Wolfram applies his approach to explore key scientific questions, including the origin of the Second Law of thermodynamics, the emergence of complexity in biology, the limits of mathematical computation, the search for a fundamental theory of physics, and the relationship between free will and determinism. The book offers a fresh view on long-standing scientific problems.
