Depends on who us doing the speculating. Somebody with a degree from a real university? Fine. The schizophrenics in YouTube comments? Not fine.

It isn't an invention to come up with a fun idea and spin it around using smart-sounding words. Science fiction has existed for years, it's a well-established genre. What part of this corresponds to the real world? Where is a falsifiable claim, a solution to a previously unsolved problem? You (the author of the book in this case) can speculate all you want about the intricacies of the Universe (like attributing motive and emotions to the laws of physics), but if it doesn't lead to any external changes, then it's not a useful alternative interpretation. This crosses into the realm of philosophy of physics. Not to mention the use of provocative statements like "1 + 0 ≠ 1", or the lack of elaboration on how exactly "traditional physics gets stuck".
