<div dir="ltr"><div>To Ilja and Doug and others.</div><div><br></div>Yes: it's clear that "classical" scientist don't want new or innovative ideas to supersede the mainstream sciences.

Simply because in the<br>
particle physics domain you can do nothing without particle<br>
accelerators, and in gravity nothing without the big observational<br>
tools used in modern astronomy. The time of experiments done at home<br>
is over. One or another accidental thing may happen, like cold fusion<br>
or so. But I doubt experiments from outsiders can give more.<br>
<br>
I have encountered problems with <a href="http://arxiv.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">arxiv.org</a> too.<br>
<br>
First they have tried to reject a paper which was a combination of an<br>
old one with some new results. Too close to each other, so this can<br>
be only one arxiv paper - despite completely different publications,<br>
where the second one was made in full awareness of the publisher that<br>
some old content will be reused.<br>
<br>
Then they have simply rejected an ether paper which was an answer to a<br>
paper itself published there. The arguments for rejection have been<br>
completely off, I was able to reject them, but only to avoid worse<br>
things (like being allowed to publish there only already published<br>
papers) but the paper itself was nonetheless not published.<br>
<br>
So, <a href="http://arxiv.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">arxiv.org</a> is increasingly going insane in their censorship.<br>
