I read the article. It's highly speculative, making extrapolations tens to hundreds of years with very little evidence or physics.

I have publications in this area. And given the above deficiencies, I started wondering about where it was published.

When what I noted above surfaced, I stopped, because life is too short to chase down BS.

You shouldn't be taking that article seriously! And I don't know how it was recommended to your attention, but I'd start wondering about that source as well.
