You're clearly either misrepresenting the author intentionally or out of good old fashioned ignorance. Gough is very well-educated and the ideas are carefully considered and are just an extension of Dr. Lee Smolin's CNS theory, which is itself based on sound science.

If you didn't finish reading the article, I really recommend you go back and give it another go. If you don't get caught up in trying to explain the mechanisms (which may be limited given our current limited understanding, ESPECIALLY of quantum gravity), I think you'll have to see that there's something there.

I mean for fuck's sake, y'all sound like religious zealots arguing against evolution.
