A Lot of these physics papers are interesting but ultimately just noise. An untested Theory is NOT fact, it's just someone (with or without a PhD) pulling something out of their arse that might explain things. Most of cosmology and physics is still theory (even the big bang, and string theory) and even if 90% of theory fits facts, they could still be wrong. I am seeing more and more of these un-testable theories, built on other un-testable theories, citing other un-testable theories, this is why theoretical physics is in a crisis IMHO.

MY mother and father also have an untested theory that explains all this too it's called "God", most Sci-Fi authors have plenty, and I am sure AI's will soon add to this pile.

Kudos to those scientists that create testable papers or experimentally prove stuff.
