A roughly four-and-a-half-hour Lex Fridman podcast conversation with Stephen Wolfram about his Wolfram Physics Project and a fundamental theory of physics, computation, life and the universe.
HN points to it as a detailed explanation of Wolfram's physics hypothesis, and for Wolfram's evident passion, though some find it long.

Wolfram is always fascinating on Lex even if he goes on a bit too long (it’s Wolfram after all). He talks ruliads in his second appearance: ▶ this video
Lots of comments about his "arrogance" but i just see someone passionate, judge for yourself! He has three long interviews on Lex Fridmans youtube channel! I greatly enjoyed watching those those. 1:[Stephen Wolfram: Cellular Automata, Computation, and Physics]( link ) 2:[Stephen Wolfram: Fundamental Theory of Physics, Life, and the Universe]( ▶ this video ) 3: [Stephen Wolfram: Complexity and the Fabric of Reality ]( link )
Although I'm skeptical of the correctness of Wolfram's grand new theory/hypothesis of everything, there are many intuitively appealing aspects of it, and I wouldn't be surprised if some aspects of the theory may help find or understand future discoveries. (Though maybe not; I'm definitely not an expert.) Here's a detailed explanation of the hypothesis in a Lex Fridman podcast episode: ▶ this video
