- hga 16y agoFor "someone who was once a respectable physicist", yes. Especially to the extent he's putting resources into this instead of Mathematica. (Note: the above is from the author's (and others) point of view; I've not read the book and have no first hand opinion on it or Wolfram, besides the law-suit happy thing and such, e.g. I don't use Wolfram Alpha because they own whatever is the output of it, I don't and am restricted in how I can use it.)
