I very much doubt that Stephen Wolfram is bored.

Why is this downvoted? I agree: Yes. His Wiki page[1] says:

    > Working independently, Wolfram published a widely cited paper on heavy quark production at age 18 and nine other papers. Wolfram's work with Geoffrey C. Fox on the theory of the strong interaction is still used in experimental particle physics.
And:

    > In 1983, Wolfram left for the School of Natural Sciences of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton.
As I understand, IAS is all about fundamental physics research.
