Is Wolfram Physics the next scientific revolution?
For the last few hundred years, all our theories of physics have been mathematical.
If Stephen Wolfram is right, from now on, our most fundamental theories of physics may be computational.
This shift from mathematics to computation feels to me like a scientific revolution.
Recently, I asked Jonathan Gorard, who was instrumental in the founding of The Wolfram Physics Project, whether it feels to him, too, like a scientific revolution.
“I think so,” he said. “I mean, it’s a strong statement, but I don’t think it’ll end up being too inaccurate.”

Here’s why, in my mind, Wolfram Physics is the next scientific revolution.
