He has no collaborators. He gives no credit to others. He just relentlessly names things after himself, takes singular credit for everything, and name-drops other famous scientists he bumped into.

I genuinely find the wolfram physics project interesting, but the behavior of wolfram himself sets off all my bullshit alarms.

I suspect that it will be someone else that will take these ideas over the finish line. He seems completely oblivious to the fact that his behavior makes it harder to take the ideas seriously.

My gateway to the ideas was Jonathan Gorard. Check out his videos if you are curious, they are much more accessible than Wolfram's own content.

He even got a metal named after him ;-) Tungsten is called „Wolfram“ in German.

Wolfram is scared that Gorard is going to upstage him.

The stallman of physics.

At least Stallman is charming in his uncouth, nerdy way.
