I'm getting really tired of these theories, and I'm finally annoyed enough to delurk. I'm going to go down the post in order, quoting would only make my wall of text longer.
Two hundred years is not nearly enough time for a broken half-of-a-ship to float from the Ark (shown to be outside/ on outer edges of the galaxy at the beginning of The Ark level and implied in various terminals) to Sol.
Onyx did did not explode, the crust of the planet did, revealing the sentinel-constructed center. Not that I particularly support the Onyx theories, just that you're wrong.
That solid brick of debris looks more like a cell phone from the 80's than it looks like the hollow shell of an antenna that clips to the top the shoulder vent/reactor vent on the Mjolnir armor. It's just debris.
Yes, Bungie has said there is no link. If you paid attention, it's been linked to before. If I was smart, I would have saved the link. Someone probably linked to it in the 75+ pages of replies. It's proof enough to google "Is Marathon the prequel to Halo?" (with the quotes), look at the Wikipedia Bungie page, or both.
There is no "in-between" that transports you between dimensions if a portal collapses; you're either on one end of it, or the other end of it, but never in it (get it?). You say that the collapsing portal sent them to the Marathon universe, and they happen to be in or near the same place the portal sent the Arbiter (Sol), just in a different universe. So why wouldn't Cortana be saying "Oh, look, there's our home sun!" if the portal had indeed sent them to Sol? In fact, how could Cortana know the exploding Halo "did a number on the Ark" if the portal sent them to Sol? Much more likely that the portal simply cut off and separated the two halves of the ship like scissors cutting paper, and they drifted forward with whatever momentum they had. Remember that the Halo didn't exactly fire as much as explode, and they did not have to be transported long distances to survive.
In Infinity, the player is yanked from timeline to alternate timeline by a hybrid computer (I'll call it Thothandal) looking for a way to stop the embodiment of chaos from coming out of the sun and eating the universe. Play the game instead of reading summaries secondhand. The Master Chief cannot travel between dimensions, the portal did not send him between dimensions, there is no W'rkncacnter crisis.
1: Marathon was hollowed out of Deimos. So? The marathon has been gone for eighty years by the time Halo starts and the Marathon cyborg is in hibernation and on well on his way to have some fun at Tau Ceti.
2: "Mars is in Iris, Mars is round, there is a round thing in the legendary ending, zomg Mars is in the legendary ending." All planets are round. Take a guess at how many planets are in the galaxy, and you get <1% chance that that is Mars. Also, blue nebula next door to our solar system, show me it.
The "Compiler" picture is a rock on a hill in the middle of a rain forest. Use your eyes. For the Enforcer picture, some people might see a monster from an old Power Rangers episode, their crabby grandmother, a puppy, or bacon. What I don't see is seven eyes and an alien flamethrower.
