Science and Nature will almost certainly bounce you, so there's almost no point at all to submitting to them. SciAm is a popular science magazine, so wouldn't be intersted. Phys Rev will be a tough sell, as they're not interested so much in "fundamental questions", so you're likely to get an editorial bounce straight away. You might have more of a chance of getting a referee in some of the third tier journals like Physica, or Foundations of Physics, or New Physics Journal. But you must be prepared to answer your critics more openly and honestly than you've managed so far on this list. You will no doubt get the quite obvious criticisms about conservation laws not being satisfied that we've raised on this list. You may also get other objections - which we'd be quite interested in hearing, and also hearing how you answered them, here. Finally, you probably could get published in some of the predatory open access journals that have sprung up in the last few years. But they just take your money, and it's worth diddly squat in the long term - at that point you may as well just throw your ideas up on a webserver and go do other things. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics [email protected] University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au Latest project: The Amoeba's Secret (http://www.hpcoders.com.au/AmoebasSecret.html) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
