I'm actually curious about this.

What's the verdict, /sci/?

Excellent new advances, but /sci/ will tell you Wolfram (one of the great minds of the last few decades) is a crackpot.

Written "a project to find the fundamental theory of physics," soon to be available for purchase.
Name one thing you've done of note *in physics*.

I'm not the one saying I found the fundamental theory in physics.

Nor is he. He is saying he has found a framework in which such a theory may exist.

Any idea of what knowledge level the book is aimed at? I have an engineering degree which included Calc I-IV, DQ, Linear Algebra, Chem I & II, and Physics I & II. So basic science literacy but no real depth of knowledge in physics.

May need a bit of computer science. But the book will probably be aimed at popular audience. So you can catch up. Don't buy it immediately tho. Pirate first, if you like it enough then buy.

>Excellent new advances
He's advanced nothing. What has actually happened is more akin to opening up a new field/tool of study. Very interesting, very likely to produce nice and interesting results in various fields (already has in some ways), but his primary objective, solving physics, will not happen until he gives demonstrable experiments to prove or disprove his ideas. Otherwise its fucking string theory all over again.

It is literally on his website for free. Or at least 400 pages of it are.

Assuming its the same level as the shit on his website, it is easily understood by someone with a BS level in physics. The book is not very deep or technical, Wolfram leaves that shit to his physics graduate student slave, but serves to give a sort of introductory lecture type course.Lots of concepts and analogies, light on the math. Which is to be somewhat expected since its all graphs.

It is good to remember that Wolfram is a retard.

Drawing cartoons is not connected to science in any way.

$50 for the book? I'll wait for the movie version to come on Netflix.
