I think Reily has it pretty close. The Wolfram answer to any question is “Cellular Automata.

But is seems to me that he has replaced mathematics as a basis for discovering and defining “Scientific Truth” with computer programs, perhaps very simple ones, that are the basis for his Cellular Automata.

So, while I still don’t get it, I’m betting he would agree that the mathematicians have ruined physics.

But I don’t agree. At best it seems to me that Worlfram’s theories might complement traditional physics. But the idea that you can replace those quations with computer programs is a non-starter.

Also, as PIF noted: I left Maxwell off my list by name and stuck him in “others”. Very unfair of me. I made my living using his equations for a long time.
