I recently heard of this theory:

Discrete Scale Relativity which can be found here:

http://www.science20.com/discrete_scale_relativity/blog/discrete_scale_relativity-78208

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.
