Turning off comments on this post since it’s turned into a spam trap. Still have the lecture recording, so email if interested. Address is around here somewhere, you’ll find it.

While I’m also dying of curiousity about the box, I’m writing to get a link to your stealth recording. Send me an e-mail! Thanks.

A New Kind of Science: The NKS Forum - John von Neumann's box Quoting from this post by Stephen Wolfram:

And being reminded of this last week, I sent mail to his daughter to ask what had become of the box. Disappointingly, she responded that: "The Big Box opening turned out to be a Big Bust". Apparently she and her children and their grandchildren had all assembled ... only to discover that it was all a big mistake: the box was actually not John von Neumann's at all!

A big disappointment indeed :(

I don't have any inside info. Probably just keep an eye on the news outlets, maybe with a search on Google News. Unless it's earthshaking I bet it won't show up in time for your paper, so maybe just wrap up with some speculation about what might be in there!

My daughter has to write a short report on John von Neumann for her pre-Algebra class. We noticed that today is the day that his “secret box” and its contents could be revealed. How would I go about finding what was in the box? We would like to include it in her report.

Thank you,
