Frankly, stuff like this makes me more skeptical of the ML community. Remember when people thought Brains were just really complicated hydraulic systems?
I actually think that interdisciplinary work like this can shed light into common structures across physics, biology, neuroscience, CS, etc. If anything, I wish there were more attempts to explore the connections between these disciplines.
The author is basically a crank, it looks like they held some teaching positions in an unrelated subject at various universities yielding the “professor” title, and originally studied/published actual research in cosmology decades back.
Might as well be skeptical of the math community because of circle squarers
