[Alex Smith] (age 20) of Birmingham, has won the $25,000 Wolfram 2,3 [Turing Machine] Research Prize. In his 2002 book A , hypothesized that a particular abstract [Turing Machine] might be the simplest system of its type capable of acting as a universal computer. In May 2007, the Wolfram 2,3 Turing Machine Research Prize was established to be awarded to the first person or group to prove either that Wolfram's Turing machine is universal, or that it is not. Alex Smith was able to demonstrate--with a 40-page proof--that Wolfram's Turing machine is in fact universal.
