This video is inspired by The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume I, and follows the way Feynman explained these ideas.

You think you understand time because you can read a clock or feel yourself getting older.

But that feeling isn't time — it's just how your brain keeps track of change.

In this video, inspired by Richard Feynman's way of teaching, we question the idea that time "flows" and show why physics doesn't see time the way you do. No metaphors, no philosophy — just a clear explanation of what time actually is, how we measure it, and why your intuition keeps getting it wrong.

If time has always felt obvious to you, this video will change that.

The content is inspired by ideas from The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume I, and presented for educational purposes.

What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound?

In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe.

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.

He argues that time is the inevitable progress of computation in the universe, where simple rules can lead to complex behaviors. This concept, termed computational irreducibility, implies that time has a rigid structure and that our perception of it is limited by our computational capabilities. Wolfram also explores the relationship between time, space, and gravity, suggesting that dark matter might be a feature of the structure of space.
