Does anything think Wolfram Theory is going to end up being the right approach to go deeper down the rabbit hole? Personally I think the theory is really interesting and intuitively feels like the universe at some core level may work as the theory suggests. But I’m not sure if many people are considering the theory to have serious promise in the long term.

It has to find the rabbit hole first. So far as I understand, Wolfram theory hasn't yet been testable against any experimental data. So it's 100 years behind quantum theory. And in the final analysis, even if it achieves the same exquisite accuracy as quantum theory, will it do any better with the problem that really bugs people, which is the ability to tell us what we're really made of? That's the problem stated at the beginning of the article:
