This reminds me strongly of the xkcd poking fun at string theory by summarizing it thus: "What if everything were comprised of tiny, vibrating strings?" -- "What would that entail?" -- "I dunno." However, the idea itself is so delightfully creative and "sci-fi" that I had to save it.
"It is said that papers in string theory are published at a rate greater than the speed of light. This, however, is not problematic since no information is being transmitted. "
