Stanisław Marcin Ulam ([sta'ɲiswaf 'mart͡ɕin 'ulam]; 3 April 1909 – 13 May 1984) was a Polish-American scientist in the fields of mathematics and nuclear physics. He participated in the Manhattan Project, originated the Teller–Ulam design of thermonuclear weapons, discovered the concept of the cellular automaton, invented the Monte Carlo method of computation, and suggested nuclear pulse propulsion. In pure and applied mathematics, he proved some theorems and proposed several conjectures.
Why I took a chance on Wolfram Physics with Jonathan Gorard
Jonathan Gorard admits that it was a risk, for his academic career, to work on the Wolfram Physics project.
In this third excerpt from my recent conversation with Jonathan, I asked him how he thought about that risk and why he decided to take it.
He told me that the opportunity to work with Stephen…
SOR 923 When to do Monte Carlo
You might have heard of Monte Carlo simulation. This might sound advanced, or challenging, or beyond your skills. It's not! In fact, Monte Carlo simulation can do a really good job of modeling really, really complex things really easily. Want to learn more? Listen to this podcast.

Is There a New Realm Beyond the Singularity?
In physics, a singularity is the place where the math gives up.
Inside a black hole, past the event horizon, the equations of general relativity stop producing answers. Whatever happens in there can’t be predicted from out here. The word means, roughly: here ends what we can know.
In the 1950s, the…
