Yes--I don't really understand what the supporting
(observational and/or thy) evidence for the conclusions is
but it is interesting. It seems as though they are trying to
allude to some sort of cosmological generalized (if you buy
superstring thy, extradimensional?) conservation law
here...balancing gravitational and electromagnetic force
energies? And what about the strong force (guess the weak
force is subsumed by EM.) Interesting to ponder anyway.
