What is Discrete Scale Relativity?

[eiyaz]

I recently heard of this theory:

Discrete Scale Relativity which can be found here:

and

http://www3.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw/

What are the issues with this theory and why has it not picked up more attention?

The research Robert L. Oldershaw seems to suggest interesting ideas, unfortunately my knowledge in advance physics is fairly limited. He seems to leave out issues that may hinder the theory, just wondering what the issues are.

A fringe theory which the author promotes endlessly on all kind of websites and message boards.
