I, K. Marinas, am the founder of my Cyclic Multiverse Hypothesis¹, in which I propose that universe is a fractal, as an alternative to the Big Bang Theory. My idea is not science as of yet, since the vast majority of detailed cosmological data and computing power is outside of my reach. Another reason why it is not science right now is because it is not being studied by staff of a university. This page is not something you can nor should cite for a school project. Meanwhile, I think that my idea lacks the errors of previous alternatives to the Big Bang Theory.

First off, I'd like to quote 3 golden laws of attribution:
1. Arnold’s Law: everything that is discovered is named after someone else (including Arnold’s law)
2. Berry’s Law: sometimes, the sequence of antecedents seems endless. So, nothing is discovered for the first time.
3. Whiteheads’s Law: Everything of importance has been said before by someone who did not discover it.
The concept of a multiverse is not new, and I've certainly read from several sources concepts regarding the fractal basis for life the universe and multiverse which is what I think your trying to tag as your own, all of which originate before 2005 (infact I think the earlest is in a book dating from 1992 sometime) (and some of which are nearly identical to what you write). In all fairness you've read a lot into it, but I don't believe that it's original to the extent your citing; merely expanding into a given field and adding a novel tag, but hey that's science.
Unfortunately many ideas in history have several people stumble accros it simultaneously (go check out some jung), if I had a penny every time that's happened to me, I'd stop work. Now not to take all the hard work out of it, and just to prove some of what I say, here is a small selection of web based material (besides wikipedia) to wade through at your leisure.

......etc, etc, etc..

..Try expanding the search criteria and adding alternative tags; obscure papers always hold little gems, flesh out the theory, could be really interesting (cause I like many others do believe that chaos and fractal theories hold many, as yet untapped answers concening existence (ref: scaling laws), and there is still a great amount to be learnt about this field (not to mention unification of constants, which is a equally fascinating field that is intimately related and has huge quantities published on this)
Remember Einsteins theory of relativity was not actually discovered by Einstein per se; he really found a way of weaving work done by Galileo, Newton, Poincaré, Lorenz, Minkowsky, Michelson and Morley and many others. He just added his own take on things, a small step, wee change in perspective; and this led to great advances. The same is true for every major step in human history.
