> Physicists don't have any imagination to break past certain assumptions (e.g wave function collapse is random) This is not quite fair, after all Wolfram himself have worked as a physicist. What physicists do not do, is they do not usually talk much about ideas for which they had not found any mathematical model or any analogy with existing theories. Wolframs idea is very enticing, especially if you like the idea of digital physics and want to get rid of real numbers in the theory. But unfortunately it is very hard to get some working mathematical model from it.
