But the major reason I'm skeptical is there seems to be no explanation for how it jives with conservation of linear momentum (or why the laws of physics no longer have the symmetry of spatial translations).
This isn't top-down science that flows from the theoretical and mathematical models. It's bottom-up science that starts with an observable effect and builds from there to a working theory. Like I said, this needs to be reproduced, modified, tested, scaled up, etc. That's the only way we're going to find out what actually went on with this thing.
There's nothing here!
