Big deal
I have the copyrite on this 'black hole where I say it is,' from the Library of Congress, Washington DC. fr5pom 2003.
From the Copyright Office website: Online registration of a basic claim in an original work of authorship - $35.00.
Anybody can copyright anything for that online fee of $35.00. That doesn't mean it is worth anything--the Copyright Office makes no such judgement. It just means you sent it in (whatever) and paid your fee. I could copyright this post for $35.00, and it would convey exactly nothing about the accuracy or the worth of this post.
It seems what you are attempting here (poorly) is an Argument from Authority.
Sorry, the Copyright Office acceptance of your submission conveys no such authority. Your work will have to stand or fall on its own merits.
However, that you feel the need to seek some outside authority for your work bodes ill for its content and worth...

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?--Robert A. Heinlein
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
