I think if someone thinks it’s interesting they can throw money at it to hire physicists to explore the idea properly. Everyone has a substack. I’m not even saying that there needs to be a peer reviewed article. But if you could build a simulation that could be used to test the hypothesis and throw that on GitHub then others could play around with the ideas. Currently that’s not possible but seems like an obvious next step when trying to convince others of the idea. It would also allow you to explore the failure modes in the theory because that’s something that’s hard to do when you are constructing thought experiments of your pet theory. Because that’s all this really is, there’s no application [1] to cosmology except our understanding of large scale evolution of the universe. So it’s just bragging rights that others accept your explanation.

1. I suppose there could be some kind of high concept sci-fi rigmarole that could be arrived at via cosmology or perhaps it could inform exotic material construction in particle accelerators or something like that. I suppose by “application” I mean something more down to earth like building a new kind of computer, solving climate change, producing a fusion reactor, etc.
