Unfortunately I cannot find the video/article where he states he's marketing this theory via a website because it's met with indifference, like any other theory: it takes times – years, sometimes decades – for a theory to be heard, let alone be opposed.
I find this page very annoying. Instead of presenting the core of the theory (maybe some maths?), it has happy pictures and fell good text. But even after reading the Wikipedia article, I'm no wiser.
It takes years for an idea to gain momentum in the scientific community. It does not take years to get an article on a half-creditable site like Ars Technica or Space.com. Marketing an idea directly to the public, i.e., people who can't do math, is suspicious as hell.
The author has published papers on his model in various peer-reviewed journals. Check out the bottom of the home page. As I said, he theorized, went through the peer-review ping pong session, published and then set up this website, which is why I compare him to Deutsch, who went through the same steps.

Check out http://constructortheory.org/ by David Deutsch.

So why is the link going to his personal site instead of the paper or to a neutral article covering the paper?
