Yudkowsky and Wolfram seem to think so. I don't know their exact
reasoning, but it probably takes 400 bits to describe the 40 or so
free parameters in string theory from which all the fundamental
physical constants and properties of the fundamental particles could
be derived.
Those guys don't know either. We don't really know what the laws of
physics are yet.
It seems a bit premature to speculate about their complexity.
