Let's see if I've got this right. You have shown that the Big Bang didn't happen, and also that the theory of General Relativity is wrong. A respectable peer-reviewed journal was going to publish your paper, but because of a disagreement on whether it should be published in one part or two, you decided to skip the whole fatiguing business of peer-reviewed publication and instead chose to circulate your ideas in the form of a four-minute YouTube video.
Did it not occur to you that you would have more, much more, credibility if your paper had actually been published, whether in one part or two?

I would also point out that you're doing yourself no favors by using the phrase "Theory of Everything" when you don't, so far as I can see, actually claim to have found anything remotely like a ToE. "Theory of Everything" is already a term of art in physics, you can't hijack it to describe your own idea, however highly you think of it, unless it unifies gravity and quantum field theory, which is not a claim you even make for it.

Re: My Opinion
If a theory is correct, it will get out regardless of the route taken.
This is I suppose true, but the route may involve someone else thinking of it independently and publishing it, as has happened from time to time when people have been insufficiently diligent in seeking recognition for their ideas.

I also took several graduate level courses as an undergrad and ended up being the reason why there were no grading curves.
It follows that there are some physicists who know that you are awfully good at physics, and are therefore predisposed in your favor. Have you shown your work to them?

Well, I suggest that you ask these people who recognize your genius and the correctness of your theory what they should do to draw attention to your ideas. I would be surprised if any of them mentions either YouTube or EvC.

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
I have a question. Your hypothesis mentions the "center of the universe". Where is it?

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
Gee, what a great question. Where?
I think all the big bangers should be forced to answer this. Where was the singularity located at the instant the big bang began?
Everywhere.
Or do you escape answering this by deciding that words have no meaning when it suits you?
Bad luck, old boy: despite your best efforts to drool out stupid meaningless gibberish, it is still possible to attach a meaning to your question and answer it.
Now, as your fatuous whining about the Big Bang is off topic, and as your pathetic antics are more disgusting than amusing, perhaps you could do us all a big favor and fuck off.

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
Section 3.8 of his paper beginning on pg 57.
I'm not seeing it.
His YouTube video said the universe had a center. Either we're at it, or it's in a particular direction from us, and I want to know which. If you can get that from his paper, can you tell me? Thanks.

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
Thanks. But then, you see, I have to wonder: if the existence of the center is responsible for explaining the redshift, as the YouTube summary suggests, then why don't we see very different redshift phenomena according to which bit of the sky we're looking at, for example according to whether we're looking towards the center or away from it?

Re: Call for CaveDiver or Son Goku
Redshift becomes less directionally dependent as distance increases. Locally we should see galaxies and clusters along the shortest directions to the central core accelerating away. In the opposite direction, we are accelerating away from galaxies and clusters with higher gravitational potential.
And so if we look along a line perpendicular to a line drawn between us and the center we see ... what?
What you need to explain is this. Our experience of red shift is symmetrical. Yet you explain it in terms of a thing (the center) which is obviously not distributed symmetrically around us, but is in one particular direction from our position. Now, how does a completely asymmetric cause have a completely symmetric effect?
