The search engine created by Stephen Wolfram author of "A New Kind of Science" has gotten much media attention. It launched on Friday, May 15, 2009. I am still playing around with it to find its utility besides simple curiosity. I am confident I will eventually find a real world use for it.
The website about page says that "Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone." Sounds good to me.
Stephen Wolfram is a pretty smart guy so I am sure this website can be put to good use. In the meantime I proposed this question:
"answer to life, the universe and everything"
To which Wolfram|Alpha responded:
"42"
So far, so good.
