Imagine Stephen Wolfram walked up to you right now, took one look at the work you're doing, and then tried to learn it and then surpass you. How long would it take him to make you utterly redundant?

I haven't even started research or original work yet, so I'll give him a day to surpass me, at most.

For the smart people here, I'd give Wolfram a week at most to surpass you.

Most people are confused about my research, Stephen Wolfram probably would be too.

I doubt it would take Stephen Wolfram 70 weeks to learn how to be schizophrenic.

Well, seeing as I'm working for MathWorks, I'll have to go with "never".

Well, all we have to do is put Stephen Wolfram and Linus Trovalt in the same room and ask them who's work is more valuable. They would argue till their deaths, autistic beta mathematicians would crawl out from under their desks knowing Stephen wasn't around to shit on them, there would be collaboration of which has never been seen before and math would advance far more and faster than it ever has.

Seeing how I'm at the gym reading this thread between my 3 plate squat sets I'm gonna have to say it would take him a while.

I mean, I could learn my work in a couple days, probably. I doubt he could do much better.
