Humans have a history of "finding" solutions to perceived problems, which are rooted in their own feable understanding of the world, universe, etc. History is littered with supposed advances, which in hindsight are viewed in horror, or laughable at best (Medicine is a good example). Whatever "Truth" is out there, in relation to what we call the Universe, we are likely just following the latest fad thinking. While it has relevance for all newly minted PHD candidates, seeking glory for themselves and tenure, it is likely just another wave of self importance, which will be looked back on by future humans (assuming they survive) with amusement.
