This http://www.ted.com/talks/stephen_wo..._campaign=newsletter_weekly&utm_medium=email" by Stephen Wolfram is about 20 minutes long, but the most interesting parts are from 14:10 or so to about 17:30.
Summary:
14:10 Somewhere out in the computational Universe we might find our physical Universe.
14:50 Universe behaves like some kind of Network.
15:10 He shows to the public (for the first time, a graphic representing candidate Universes) based on his models.
15:45 States that the Universe is: full of computational irreducibility.
16:00 Claims he has produced candidate Universes that produce the standard models representation of gravity, special relativity, general relativity, and hints of quantum mechanics (does not mention QED or QCD Theory) however.
16:45 Issues a challenge that by the end of the decade he believes a correct Theory of the Universe can be achieved.
17:20 Computation is destined to be the defining idea of our future.
