About as far fetched as some Biblical stories.
It's published in a journal that sounds impressive, but there seems to be a lot of speculative papers in there. I've also found a few places questioning the legitimacy of the journal that this paper was published in.
It's just the journal of Cosmology, not of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

That impact factor is not bad for that field.
Yea, just did research on that.

There would be hard evidence of radiation and giant craters caused by such a blast left on mars for NASA to find on the planets surface. This guy must be on something or is just stirring for attention. Again. Aliens.

My RKV theory is still looking good!
This image of Mars was flipped down the middle and used as the picture for a planet in Mass Effect 2 described as being struck by a relativistic weapon.

Life imitates art...isn't this more or less the backstory of the Martian Manhunter from DC comics?

The truth is, in an alternate timeline, both earth and mars flourished with life, but a war broke out between planets.
Both had nuclear technology, so mutually assured destruction was guaranteed.
If earth launched nukes to kill mars, mars would launch all their nukes to kill earth (because they would have nothing to loose).
Earth could not fight a prolonged war, so Earth started prototyping a time-machine and sent 2 nukes back in time, during the early periods of mars. (back when even earth had no life). The timetravelling nukes detonated of mars was annihilated. The current earth is the alternate timeline created from those actions.

Or that's what everyone thinks. The REAL truth is, that when the nukes were sent back in time, it was a period where earth was barren, no life existed yet.
When the nukes detonated, a lot of mars debris was ejected into space due to the explosion. The debris also harboured mars based bacteria/life, some of which found their way to earth, the mars bacteria thrived on earth, and became the origin of life for earth. We humans are descends of martians, meanwhile the earthlings in the alternate timeline are something entirely different.

Maybe it was Thanos.
Super impressed with the time, effort, and dedication put into this video irrespective of the dubious content.
We don't even have a moonbase yet, so no rush. In a million years Gliese 710 will destroy the solar system anyway:
EDIT Blasted image won't work, damn you aliens!

What if we originally are Martians, our ancestors destroyed life on Mars with nuclear technology, but some survivors escaped the planet to live on another near one and it was Earth?
What if in the future, we repeat the same error and we go back to live again on Mars our home planet without knowing it?

Wouldnt there be buildings and stuff left on the planet?
From all the pictures i've seen its just an empty rocky wasteland.

Not enough gravity to hold an atmosphere over long time scales i.e. millions or billions of years, and no magnetic field to protect the atmosphere from solar winds stripping it off.
Mars may have had an atmosphere for millions of years in its early days, but slowly lost it and froze. It may not harbour life (or an atmosphere) now, but it certainly could have in the past.
The highest impact journals would rate around 30? Nature, Cell, Science, Annalen der Physik, etc?
This suggestion sounds like it was lifted straight out of Heinlein's "Blowups Happen" with a few minor changes. That story involved scientists discovering evidence that a large (but self-inflicted, in that case) nuclear disaster wiped out an ancient civilization on the moon and was responsible for various characteristics of the moon's geography.
It wasn't a convincing explanation there either, but at least that was a work of fiction.

This could have made a cool backstory for some book or movie. Too bad he's batshit crazy and thinks it's real.

What an idiot. Nuclear radiation would be present if that happened but it's clearly not. Mars doesn't have moons that pull the radiation out of the ocean and absorbs it like ours does so it would be permanent radiation if they nuked it. Last I checked Mars is red and not green like radiation is, so this guy can fuck right off!

Our moon pulls radiation out of the ocean and absorbs it? O.O

Plot twist: We're actually the offspring of the alien race that eradicated life on Mars and they did it so we would thrive without competition.
His theory is off the wall, fun and interesting concept though.
