I'm not sure what you mean by that, could you expand? I wouldn't have considered Hinduism esoteric with several billion followers.

  Well, we were keeping to science and physics mostly until now, and I don't see why it needs justification that hinduism is esoteric in that context. As in, too "magical". Not many [astro]physicists would apply hinduism in their work I imagine. Same for any religion I guess

    Ah, I found it intellectually stimulating to draw the comparison to such an ancient and commonly followed school of philosophical thought so it felt worth sharing. I'm not sure there's anything less "mystical" about Wolfram's postulations though. Is there a new scientific basis for these beliefs?

      Interesting. To me Wolfram's writing seems following logic/reason from first principles more so than what I know about Hinduism, but I guess I don't know that much about it...
