Very interesting. Thanks.
A changing speed of light and big-bang-formed black holes sidestep the major objections to this paper.
Case closed? Not likely. Oxford�s Silk, one of the grand figures in contemporary cosmology, calls the paper �very nicely done, very competent,� but also says that �this is pretty speculative territory.� He continues: �She starts with a weak set of assumptions. You don�t really know how to make the first, seed galactic black holes in the first place. The first galaxies and the first halos of dark matter were not so big. How exactly did billion-mass black holes form? It is one thing to say that, if you have the right ingredients, you can make the cake. But these ingredients are not so natural, I think.�
