As long as we do not know what Dark Matter or Dark Energy is, any hypothesis is valid. Scientific method is to err above towards the truth.

A hypothesis is only valid if it has any basis in reality AND a way to falsify it.

You can't just say "it's cause god got bored" that's not valid.

You can say "it's another dimension leaking, here's something we can check and if we observe this, then it's not true."

Just throwing out random ideas isn't a hypothesis, it's fiction.
