Wolfram's theories are still largely pseudoscientific, in that way they look a lot like string theory, minus the public funding the latter received.
Neither theory is really falsifiable : if new experiments are made that contradict the theory, it can just be adjusted to fit the new observations. As a consequence, those theories are unable to make any kind of prediction about our reality, which makes them pretty much useless. No wonder this "research" was never published in any physics journal.
- smaddox 2y agoThis model of physics does make some falsifiable predictions, and there are discussions about how to test them elsewhere. Unlike string theory, this theory does not have any free variables to adjust. It's either true or it's false. I, for one, find it to be trivially true. It fits every observation and is the only theory ever posed that doesn't have the "But why those initial conditions?" problem.
