One commenter posted this:

Obviously someone and perhaps many intelligent someones are thinking about this. Good to put this in a bit of perspective, thanks. An hypothesis like this is really not yet a theory with sufficient evidence, or is it? Nothing wrong with hypotheses, and obviously more data will either accept or reject this one as an actual scientific theory. Great to get this out there, and get us thinking and gathering data for and against it.
