Wolfram's mode of operations - independently wealthy, publishing things he's interested in on his own terms, in formats and spaces he chooses to - is far closer to how the science of yore operated. Ultimately his ideas will live or die on their merit, not because he did things unconventionally.
- mellosouls 6y agoGiven their lack of any ingress into mainstream scientific acceptance, it's fair to say then they have died, merit-wise - or are only kept alive outside of science while he is able to command the esteem of programmers and the like in fora like this.
- jlokier 6y agoIt looks to me that "graph space" theories are not particularly dead these days. There are other physicists working on it.
- mellosouls 6y agoI'd be surprised if there is a significant, unconnected body of established scientists working on Wolfram's TOE stuff.
