Here's a [biased] bit on Wolfram, the person: http://chem.tufts.edu/science/Shermer/E-Skeptic/SkepticsOnWolfram.html http://chem.tufts.edu/science/Shermer/E-Skeptic/SkepticsOnWo... TL;DR [quote] Although it is clear that Wolfram is no crank, not someone skeptics would label a pseudoscientist, skeptics will notice that, despite his flawless credentials, staggering intelligence, and depth of knowledge, Wolfram possesses many attributes of a pseudoscientist: (1) he makes grandiose claims, (2) works in isolation, (3) did not go through the normal peer-review process, (4) published his own book, (5) does not adequately acknowledge his predecessors, and (6) rejects a well-established theory of at least one famous scientist.
