From a purely mathematical, scientific, and logical standpoint, I must regard this article as entirely speculative. The scientific claims it presents are extraordinarily improbable, and sound reasoning compels their complete dismissal.
History repeatedly shows that the popular: "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence" is often dependent on the frame of reference.
What is thought to be likely is used to frame conventional wisdom as truth, making the new viewpoint "extraordinary, until, over and over again, the new viewpoint becomes conventional wisdom. So "extraordinarily improbable" is really just an overton window framing (what we accept/don't accept), rather than a statement based in logic. Though your overall framing reminds me so much of historical phrases that I wonder if you are being intentionally ironic.
