Jesus christ, I ended my question with a period. I must be out of my mind.

>>5053729
You could well get a Nobel prize for that.
Prize money is more than $1 million, currently.

Publish what you have, if this is not just hypothetical.

>>5053729

anyone intelligent enough to come up with this theory would probably not care about prize money

What exactly does your theory predict?

there is always a chance that people will laugh at you when you publish, or you might not even get to publish at all. too many shit required, like degrees etc etc

>>5053735
I didn't know there was a reward for the Nobel. Thank you, I will look into it.

>>5053738
I see what you mean. Money is only my main goal because I need it to help the world in certain ways; I'm not driven by greed.

>>5053739
I hate to sound like I'm copping-out on you, but I'd rather not say. It's an entirely new way of explaining reality, which remains consistent with our scientific discoveries thus far.

>>5053751
Will I need a degree to publish anything? I could easily go to a college and get one, though I've never really seen a point in it up until now.

Become famous physicist. Win prizes and grants. Get paid salary as researcher or professor. Do public speaking. Write popular science books, and use your fame to promote them.

>>5053763
If you seriously have such a theory all worked out already, you won't have much trouble getting it published.

Write it up to a professional standard, and submit it to a journal. Physicists aren't dumb. If it is what you say it is, it'll get published.

>>5053738
Intelligent people are still human.
They still desire wealth and happiness, and a good quality of life.

>>5053738
>clearly has never worked in the sciences

There are almost no examples of scientific breakthroughs from figures working in isolation.

>>5053787
exactly, some physicist with a good enough reputation can swipe your theory the moment you tell it to him/them.

on the other hand, if you publish it here....

>>5053729
let me guess, some kind of strings?

I hope your theory contains math.

If you're unwilling to give an overview of the methods by which your theory works then you should accept that you are going to be dismissed as a crackpot

>>5053763
In case that you are legit... prepare written forms that basically say "I read the stuff which was presented to me by this guy and I cannot publish it myself or make money out of it", packed in a frameset that fits the laws of your state and region, and show your idea it to an institute that deals with such things. Don't forget to protect your idea, be as cautious as possible.

Why? Because, unfortunately, magazines with high impact factor tend to be bitchy as hell in regard to publishing ANYTHING - if you never studied before, so basically never published, you will have a hard time to explain your theory in a way that is acknowledged by any important magazine.
And you will have to publish it, sooner or later.

>>5053800

maybe its just a question.

maybe OP has no theory.

maybe you are the theory.

>>5053796
>almost.
and you dont need a degree or to go to phisisits parties to not be isolated with the internet and all.

>>5053808
i doubt it.

>Let us say that I have spent many years of my life developing a certain theory.
>Let us say

hypothetical question here, people.

>>5053796
There aren't any. There definitely aren't any radically new theories from somene who was working in total isolation.

>>5053765
This is the general idea I suppose.

>>5053796
With the internet and libraries, I can hardly say I've been isolated from anything significant.

>>5053800
Hah, no. It is not entirely different from string theory in concept, but isn't at all similar when you get down to the math involved.

>>5053809
I hardly care if I'm dismissed as a crackpot on an imageboard.

>>5053808
I wish it contained less. I am currently at a sort of mathematical boundary of sorts.

>>5053738

Anyone intelligent enough to come up with this theory would not do so in isolation and test the waters on 4chan. Boring BS nonsense. Get off 4chan you stupid crank.

Oh wow, look at that, another one of these threads where OP implies that he's done some groundbreaking work, but of course, is unable to answer simple questions like >>5053739 because in reality he does not have enough of a fucking clue to even pull something out of his ass.

You can't do shit until your theory gains acceptance. To do that you need to publish it in a peer reviewed journal of repute. Once you do that if it passes muster then you can win awards, get jobs, and go on speaking engagements, get interviewed by the discovery channel or whatever.

You should, /sci/ believes in a dozen hocus pocus cancer cures and energy solutions, not to mention string theory. If you can't convince the pseudoscientists here you have no chance of getting accepted into academia.
