> In Genesis 1:6-8, we are told that one of God's first creations was a firmament in the heavens. This likely refers to the creation of the luminiferous aether.
"Despite a century of wasting billions of dollars in work on the theory, "No one knows how to solve completely the equations of general relativity that describe gravity; they are simply beyond current understanding."[28]"
"The order created by God is on a foundation of uncertainty. The Book of Genesis explains that the world was an abyss of chaos at the moment of creation. Quantum mechanics is predicted in several additional respects by the Biblical scientific foreknowledge."
@EmilioPisanty I'm not reading this whole thing in detail, but after skimming through a bit, he seems super paranoid about plagiarism and establishing priority
I don't know of any examples in my field where such problems have occured
@BenNiehoff because I think it does have arguments that cannot be dismissed easily
> For every author that submits to viXra there is a bunch of others who could make use of it but don't because they are put off by detractors who say that they will be labelled as cranks.
generally the only people who are going to make meaningful contributions to, say, hep-th, are people who were previous affiliated and then left for industry
If you can't name 5-6 seminal papers on your topic and 20-30 references that are relevant to your work and not written by you, then it's quite unlikely you know what you're doing
a decent project probably took you 8-12 months to finish, during that time you should probably have been in communication with people who know the topic
@BenNiehoff desk-rejected from journals because they had the wrong email address?
@BenNiehoff Put it another way: academia is meant to be a meritocracy, not a who-you-know-acy. Getting people to listen is already hard enough, without putting up actual signs that say Unaffiliated Need Not Apply.
so, explain how someone might develop the necessary skills to solve something like the Hodge conjecture, while managing to have absolutely zero contact with academia up until they finish their manuscript?
seriously
many journals accept submissions in Word...in topics like biology and social sciences
