There are many claims like this, and it's hard to tell who's right. Even the Nobel prize committee said fuck it and awarded the physics prize to some programmers
So far this is just a hypothesis, with no empirical evidence to back it up. On the other hand the standard model is supported by lots of evidence. It says this pretty clearly at the bottom of the article.
It's possible this guy is right but he has a long way to go to prove it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, as Carl Sagan would say.
Is this one of those cases where you would need to make a parallel universe and let it run for billions of years to prove this idea?
I think you just need to find, or explain, the dark matter.
