In April 2020, Wolfram announced the "Wolfram Physics Project" as an effort to reduce and explain all the laws of physics within a paradigm of a [[hypergraph]] that is transformed by minimal [[abstract rewriting system|rewriting rules]] that obey the [[Church–Rosser theorem|Church–Rosser property]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Stephen Wolfram Invites You to Solve Physics|language=en|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/story/stephen-wolfram-invites-you-to-solve-physics/|access-date=2020-04-15|issn=1059-1028}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-04-14|title=Stephen Wolfram's hypergraph project aims for a fundamental theory of physics|url=https://www.sciencenews.org/article/stephen-wolfram-hypergraph-project-fundamental-theory-physics|access-date=2020-04-23|website=Science News|language=en-US}}</ref> The effort is a continuation of the ideas he originally described in ''A New Kind of Science''. Wolfram claims that "From an extremely simple model, we're able to reproduce special relativity, general relativity and the core results of quantum mechanics."

Physicists are generally unimpressed with Wolfram's claim, and say his results are non-quantitative and arbitrary.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Becker|first1=Adam|date=6 May 2020|title=Physicists Criticize Stephen Wolfram's 'Theory of Everything'|language=en|work=Scientific American|url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/physicists-criticize-stephen-wolframs-theory-of-everything/|access-date=10 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=2020|title=The Trouble With Stephen Wolfram's New 'Fundamental Theory of Physics'|language=en-us|work=Gizmodo|url=https://gizmodo.com/the-trouble-with-stephen-wolfram-s-new-fundamental-theo-1842985419|access-date=23 April 2020}}</ref>
