People have constructed string theory universes that reduce to quantum field theory in the domains where quantum field theory is known to apply, and that reduce to general relativity in the domains where general relativity is known to apply, and that offer self-consistent microscopic explanations of things that involve the overlap between QFT & GR, like black hole entropy and Hawking radiation.
I didn’t know that – thanks!
I’ll try to update ‘against’ Wolfram’s ideas at least a little based on that. (And I’ll try to be more charitable to string theory and update a little away from ‘string theory has been a giant waste of time’.)
