The problem is the are building less than a theory, an idea, on a theory that is itself shaky. In math, you cannot prove something using math that is not proven. That is, you can prove a proof with another proof, but you cannot create a proof using a theory.So these scientists are taking a theory that can't even be created mathematically becuase its full of holes, and then creating an idea about the universe that isn't applicable to modern life. I'll admit that I don't fully understand thier idea, it sounds like its their best guess as to why their device was picking up interference and that their idea fits in line with string theory, which is slowly being discredited anyway.
