I know that Wolfram has a reputation for being a bit of a hack; but in this case, I’m not a good enough physicist to see why. It all appears.. plausible? Although I don’t see new testable predictions, it does look like his theory reconciles quantum mechanics and general relativity and ties it all up with a nice bow. So, if I were a real physicist I think I’d be interested. Maybe part of the problem here is that Wolfram has a reputation for being a jerk, and a bit self important. I’ve spoken to people who saw him give a talk, and he evidently skipped all the other presentations, demanded a massive fee, and didn’t stick around for questions.
