I'm glad someone finally mentioned it! |
| [23:01] Chruser:
Yes, I read around half of the technical introduction for it a few months ago (I need a life). |
| [23:01] Chruser:
It's a nice theory, and I think it's worthwhile to investigate a simple computational foundation for the universe (cellular automata, etc; not sure about hypergraphs in particular), but I think Wolfram is blowing it out of proportion with his mostly unfounded claims. |
| [23:04] Chruser:
He seems to like to claim stuff that amounts to "I know what GR is, and we've seen patterns that resemble the Ricci curvature tensor in our models; therefore, we've derived GR from our theory. Oh yeah, btw, quantum electrodynamics emerges from it as well." |
| [23:13] Chruser:
I mean, it's kind of necessary to troll academia into action as an outsider, but damn, is he a piece of work. |
