By the way, I offer an invitation to dinner to everybody who has a good argument for or against the theory of everything presented in the text.
This yields the modern version of Dirac's scissor trick and thus yields the Dirac equation. The constituents also yield the gauge interactions and the different elementary particles - all as observed. Also general relativity with the field equations arises. So it seems that all of nature is described with Dirac's idea.
One remark: the text is really meant to state that the specific 9 lines given do contain all of physics (and thus all other natural sciences).
The argument differs from "words and Shakespeare": the nine line describe nature exactly, within measurement precision. That is the central content of that page. It is not that physics governs everything. It is that those specific 9 lines describe all measurements, all observations, and contain all equations. This is a much stronger statement.
The topic here was that physics can be summed up in 9 lines.
Anonymous ad hominem arguments are worthless in this context - but obviously important to certain people.
Indeed, it is a sport to boil down everything to a smallest set of assumptions. That is how the nine lines arose.
"Zero entropy" is indeed against the laws of physics - in this universe. It may be different in other universes.
Line 2 does not speak about locality, but about the speed of light. Entanglement does not violate the speed of light - in this universe. It may be different in other universes.
If you know what a Lagrangian is - in quantum theory, in quantum field theory, in the standard model and in general relativity - you also know that there is no random interpretation in the 9 lines.
The 9 lines imply all equations of physics. Every Lagrangian of physics is included. The lines are also coherent: none contradicts another. They are complementary: the cover all observations and all fields of physics. No field of physics is left out. The lines are also correct: every calculation fits with observations withing measurement accuracy, since the standard model (with neutrino masses and PMNS mixing) and general relativity exist.
But reducing the nine lines to fewer lines is an open problem, indeed.
