If I have to read through so much of the article context disguised as bragging without anything resembling something new then maybe this Fundamental Theory is less important than Stephen Wolfram showing how many Important Things he's done
- JohnJamesRambo 7y agoOh you don’t remember when Einstein published his papers how he vamped for almost all of it like a Mommy blogger or a recipe spamsite?
- zarmin 7y agoIIRC, all of Einstein's papers were just a not-so-subtle advertisement for gaia.com
- JackFr 7y agoThat is the reason we love Stephen Wolfram.
- jjoonathan 7y agoStephen Wolfram: his physics might be completely unproven, but his blog posts stand as conclusive evidence that shameless self-promotion has no upper bound.
- agumonkey 7y agoWOLFRM > TREE ?
- MengerSponge 7y agoWe still don't know what will achieve self-awareness first: Mathematica or Stephen Wolfram
- gunshai 7y agoThrough the grape vine I've heard this is "very much like Stephen Wolfram"

- Zhyl 7y agoAh this line I think summarises everything perfectly: >As the saying goes, there is much here that is new and true, but what is true is not new, and what is new is not true; and some of it is even old and false, or at least utterly unsupported.
- hinkley 7y agoOne of the important things he’s done was ruin math for me, which was a shock because I did not think that was even possible. His company was running accelerated calculus experiments at universities built around Mathematica. There’s a reason your teacher doesn’t want you using a graphing calculator for your algebra homework. I know that now. Ever since I’ve been carrying around a block of salt for Mr Wolfram and get a lot of schadenfreude out of him showing what a mad scientist he is. Does anyone remember that self obsessed book he wrote about fifteen years back? Hell I can’t even remember the title. Sure changed the world, didn’t it.
