Are paradigm-breaking photons predicted by Wolfram's ideas?

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough. – Niels Bohr

    Is Wolfram’s “A New Kind of Science” the first great work of theoretical physics that asserts its own greatness without making any testable predictions?

There are some things so serious that you have to laugh at them. – Niels Bohr

     Is Wolfram a great theoretical physicist rivaling Newton and Einstein? If the multiverse is a Fredkin-Wolfram information process that computes strings, then is the Bekenstein-Hawking radiation result significantly wrong? Are there paradigm-breaking photons that prove that Wolfram is basically correct about the proto-physics underlying standard physics?

   Which is correct: Bekenstein-Hawking radiation or ultra-weird digitized radiation that emerges from Fredkin-Wolfram conglomerate? Is Bekenstein-Hawking the sane alternative with Fredkin-Wolfram the crazy alternative? Is nature crazier than Bekenstein-Hawking radiation?

    What should string theory predict? What is the empirical point of string theory? At a minimum, should string theory explain dark energy, Guth’s inflation, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, and the precise details of phenomena near black holes? Should string theory give an empirical proof that alternate universes exist?

   Should the basic law of proto-physics be something like the following?

The changes in the Feynman diagrams for an observable universe with respect to the changes in the derivational information process across alternate universes = the observable state of the controlling information process across alternate universes.

   What should string theory ultimately consist of? Should there be: axioms of string theory; completeness assertion for the axioms of string theory; all-inclusive physics theorem; structure theorem for alternate universes?

    Consider 4 hypotheses.

Quantum information is conserved in the string domain.

Quantum information cannot be transmitted from one alternate universe to another alternate universe.

There is an empirically valid M-theoretic duality theorem that unifies gravitational and electromagnetic energy. This might be a corollary to an all-inclusive physics theorem.

There is an empirically valid M-theoretic theorem that provides an analogue of the Casimir-Lifshitz effect. This might be a corollary to a structure theorem for alternate universes.

   Is it essential for string theory to explain dark energy? Does dark energy depend upon the structure of alternate universes as well as the total unification of gravitational and electromagnetic energy?

   Is the fundamental problem with string theory the lack of enough empirical constraint on logical possibilities? Is the precise distribution of paradigm-breaking photons the missing ingredient in string theory? Should string theorists think about Wolfram’s ideas?

No, no, you’re not thinking; you’re just being logical. – Niels Bohr

  1. Please stop spamming physics blogs with your idea. The idea of discrete physics has been around for years. Everyone knows about it.

    Wolfram is a crank. His constructions are extremely artificial. If the continuum is ever eliminated from basic physics, it will happen in some other way.

    You are like someone using a lot of force to jam a round peg into a square hole. Despite your eagerness to know the truth, and your awareness that you sound like a monomaniac crackpot, you are probably too attached to the very naive ideas of Wolfram and Fredkin to ever actually contribute to the process of discovery. You will just have to wait until other people figure it all out and explain it to you.
