To appreciate the article, you need to first understand the scoop of Stephen Wolfram's intellectual persuite. This is obviously pure theoretical computer science (turing complete automata), but what Wolfram is trying to investigate, is if physical phenomenon can be explained through the use of cellular automata configured with simple rules (which explains why he's trying to link it to quantum physics). If he is right, it would mean that we would have completely new ways of computing physical calculations of nature and that could posses some advantages. Besides that, it also opens up our knowledge on what exactly computing is, through the articulation of computational process.
