The initial apparent potential of Giovanni Amelino-Camelia's new Double Special Relativity , which adds a quantized length invariant to the theory of relativity, seems to hold hope for explaining some of the rough edges left behind by Einstein's version.

If length is truly quantized and invariant, then doesn't it follow that Celluar Automata as espoused by Stephen Wolfram would be a natural and valuable tool for examining some of the time dependencies of vectors and higher order tensors within the framework of the new relativity ?

Celluar Automata as espoused by Stephen Wolfram
Have you actually read this? I put off buying it because I was told that it is a MASSIVE collection of ideas, and has not been reviewed. While it may be mostly good/correct ideas,
I don't have time to go thru the entire thing and try to decide what is right and wrong... especially since I'm only knowledgable in a small fraction of the areas it proports to cover.

But anyhow, what do you think of the book?

The book is interesting in a wow look at all that stuff way.
Cellular automation is not very interesting by its self, and Wolfram does not make his case for it being everything.

Your skin is a more interesting example of real cellular automation.

Actually, Wolfram DOES assert over and over again that his cellular automata can explain all of science -- but never actually demonstrates it.

The book is a total waste of time -- all it is is egomaniacal rambling and pictures of tens of thousands of patterns.
