That brings back memories. Anyone could rerun the simulations on a modern PC by writing about 50 lines of code and 10 minutes of runtime. While it is easy to criticize odd-ball theories, I think it is more fun to try to think of tests that might support them or disprove them.

I decided to try just that (with html canvas). Its probably WAY off, but it was fun to mash up. http://thecowch.com/media/demo/index.html

edit: just a disclaimer, im no genius at physics and Ive probably misinterpreted the OP's post or made some other gross flaw in this sim.
