| Mar 1, 2017 at 21:38 | comment | added | Yordan Yordanov | Actually, you are even more than right! If I wanted to just publish it, I am sure I just need to add the word "quantum" in some paragraph and I can easily find many "universities for holistic medicine", "energy healing schools" and other "alternative scientists" but then who would I be? I have quite the experience with those guys! When they learn you have a degree in anything and your ideas aren't trivial they all come cheering down but once you get to know them you realize what they are full of sh*t! I have seen plenty of it! | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 20:46 | comment | added | MSalters | @YordanYordanov: freedom of speech, go ahead. The problem is not making the claim. Plenty of pseudo-scientists do it all the time. Your problem is that you don't want to be lumped with those. That's why you often see the strongest scientific rigor on the edges of respectable science. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 16:43 | comment | added | Yordan Yordanov | The point is, I can't claim I have discovered anything without going through the peer-review. Am I right? | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 16:38 | comment | added | Yordan Yordanov | Actually, gerrit, I am sometimes very tempted by the idea to say the hell with the peer review and write a small book on the questions I have delved into. I will organize it accordingly and provide with reference, write it under the creative commons license, go to one small book printing business located near where I live, go to some torrent tracker and push it there to see what happens :) I have really thought about it. This business offers the service of "small number books publishing"(I can't translate it correctly)for a modest amount of money.But then will I be considered a real scientist? | |
