Not sure that this belongs here. Sure, some of the hypotheses are a little on the edge of possible, and there are a handful of leaps in logic, but there's really nothing in that post that's conspiracy or made up.

Sure, it's unlikely to be true, but it's just a fun continuation of the thought experiment.
I think claiming that it's inspired by an episode of Doctor Who places it firmly in the realm of insane.
Even your link says that the name was inspired by that. Nothing more.
Yeah alot of names and even scientific ideas are inspired by works of fiction.
