I think you're talking about Distress by Greg Egan? Was the book about the announcement of a Theory of Everything on an artificial island?

  Pretty sure OP was referring to A Deepness in the Sky.

    I'm very surprised that two authors that are commonly confused with each other would make a secondary plot point about the same subject that is very weakly related to their main interests.

    Yes, but I didn't want to spoil it.
