No. That’s why I said that people “challenge it to show that it’s science.” Why are you bringing up string theory as if I’m defending it?



I'm just suggesting that Wolfram's "theory" belongs in the same category as string theory. On some level it is probably a useful tool to understand something about science, say, beyond Deepak Chopra-esque woo-woo ("We are all energy, we are all vibrations", etc.) But it's not currently obvious that there's a there there.


I think it’s worse in the sense that I alluded to when I mentioned “relativistically correct.”
