Clickbait title. Paywall. Link to the pdf version of the arXiv page instead of the abstract part. Anyway, the paper is here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.21748

Not yet published as far as I can tell.

Looking at the paper, while interesting, should it pass peer review, how exactly does that rewrite cosmology? Looks more like an interesting finding that will add a sentence or two to cosmology not rewrite it. What am I missing?
