Jonathan Gorard: the complete first interview

The Last Theory

I’ve heard from many of you that you’d like the whole of my conversation with Jonathan Gorard in a single podcast.

So here it is, the complete first interview.

These three hours are a brilliant exposition of Wolfram Physics from a figure whose contributions to the project are second to none.
