Open Access and Democracy in Science « Dr. Myron Evans

“I think that open access will bring democracy into the way in which scientists are assessed, funded and employed, and I hope that the methods pioneered by AIAS will be used routinely. At present the physics system looks very much like the mediaeval Marcher Barons. The new system means a combination of websites and journals, and post publication refereeing by the readership. It is a safe bet that overwhelming professional acceptance over a decade means that the work is both correct mathematically and interesting. There will always be one or two bad apples or outright nutters when literally millions read one’s work. The methods used at AIAS are well known, they use computer feedback, and the raw data is refined to produce files such as the attached. These are frequently posted on this blog and archived every quarter in the world’s leading libraries and archival systems. Archiving of websites is of key importance. The libraries will not archive them if they are not good websites. It is very simple to see that the ECE theory is mathematically correct because it is based directly on geometry taught at all the best universities. To see this one does not even have to know any mathematics. I think that the appalling behaviour of the standard physics fringe helped lead to sweeping reforms, and to the open access revolution currently taking place. In small countries such as Wales in which corruption is endemic and almost a part of life, for some, there ought to be an international mechanism to oblige systems such as the so called ‘University of Wales’ to recognize merit, and a law system that can be used to sue without bankrupting oneself with lawyers’ fees. In my case every human right ever invented has been broken by the ‘University of Wales’ (so called) for thirty five years, (essay 64 for example) and inside Wales it is clear that no one has done anything about it. If they can avoid doing anything about it they will. That is a clear sign of endemic corruption, or ‘cronyism’. An international court of appeal would bust this open.”
