Even if it just restates the Standard Model from a completely different starting point, I think it's incredibly interesting.

Also remember it took decades before all of Einstein's 1905 predictions had been commonly accepted.

But some General Relativity predictions which differed from Newtonian gravity where verified fairly quickly (precession of Mercury's perihelion in 1915, deflection of light by the Sun in 1919).

That's still 10 years.

Does than mean we shouldn't judge Wolfram until 2031 at the earliest? I don't know...

It tooke Einstein longer to create a website called Einstein Physics and claimed that what he is doing is a new kind of since altogether.

Oh wait, he never actually did.
