So to precis the intro: "I was asked by a Nobel laureate to submit this to peer review, but I thought it would take too long, so I self published".
Yeah, the Nobel laureate told you that, not as an endorsement, but because it is the standard response. "Ah yes, that is... erm... interesting... how about you submit it for a notable journal. Oh sorry, I need to go talk to whatshername over there, kthnxbai."
Peer review exists for a reason. Specifically, the merits of theories can't be assessed via HuffPo opinion pieces, and the ratio of rubbish to quality speculation is so large, that actual professional scientists need a filtering mechanism.
