win a meteorite Has the second law of thermodynamics finally been
proven? The second law of thermodynamics has been shrouded in
mystery for a century and a half. Now, after building on the recent
breakthroughs in the foundations of physics, Stephen Wolfram has
finally provided a resolution to the mystery.  Stephen Wolfram
is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the
founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica,
Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades,
he has pioneered the development & application of computational
thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions
& innovations in science, technology, and business. In this
in-depth interview, he shares his findings, shines a light on some
of the most misunderstood concepts in physics, and answers some of
our most pressing questions about the nature of the second law,
entropy, and the dark side of the universe.  Tune in! Key
