So my call of bullshit is correct. There is a huge difference between being a physicist and having a bachelors on physics.

Arxiv however censored me even after receiving endorsements from several scientists in the relevant fields.
So you say. So far your track record on honesty has not been to good here.
Who were these scientists? If you cannot give names how about their fields of study, educational background and current positions they hold. I have no reason to believe your assertions. You need to back up your claims with actual evidence.

So no reputable scientists actually endorsed your paper?

Now, I contacted several phds who have multiple papers uploaded to arxiv on the relevant subjects (cosmology, dark matter, dark energy, ect). These included Prabir Rudra, B. G. Sidharth and a few others.
Did they endorse your "paper"? If I contact them will they support you?
I also received an "up vote" on my paper from another physicist on researchgate, which is a different kind of endorsement.
Ph.D. physicist or a bachelors "physicist" like you?

How did you get that from my response?
Because your response addressed nothing I posted. You have provided no information on anyone that supports your paper.
You name dropped Prabir Rudra and B. G. Sidharth, please provide what they wrote to support your paper and their contact information so we can contact them to find out what they feel about what you wrote.

My professor overheard and asked to speak with me privately in the hallway. He then went on to say that I was a genius and asked what my plans were after graduating.
A conversation he heard in the hallway convinced him you were a genius?
What is the professors name?
I can call or email them to confirm.

So you have no idea if he is lazy or smart. You know nothing about him but decide to make grand assumptions and share them with everyone. Thanks for wasting pixels.

On the chance that it is correct, I would probably receive an honorary degree at some point.
WOW!!!
You do know that honorary degrees are just that, honorary degrees. They have no academic status whatsoever. If you want to be a Ph.D. you still have to do the work.
So you still cannot give us the name of one Physicist that supports the ideas you propose?

If you want the opinion of other scientist then feel free to contact them and ask.
Actually, I would think you would want to do that.

I have a feeling the wiki page hasn't been updated for a reason.
Well if there was suspicion you were a crank, this confirms it.

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
I also advice looking into Occam’s razor, It states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. In other words, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
I have no idea where you got that from but it is actually incorrect.
quote:
The razor states that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate.
Occam's razor - Wikipedia
Something else you misrepresented? Shocking?
