I'm not a scientist, just a guy who was a math major in college and likes all that science-tific stuff. I had an idea a few years ago and it's finally resolved itself into something concrete. If I'm right about it all it will be HUUUGE. (just humor me, ok?) So what do I do now? I don't want to just post it somewhere on the web, I'd like a little credit for what I've done. I'm not into "fame", but a little bit of "fortune" would be ok if that's the way things work. I'm a little nervous about approaching anyone with it, I don't want to lose control of it, but at the same time being right isn't the same as being accepted, and I do need someone to look over what I've done and give it a thumbs up or down....but I want it to be someone I can trust. Seems like there should be a national clearing house for scientific ideas, why pass up something valuable just because it came from a "civilian"? (the old "infinite monkeys" theory applies here...) And I don't think I can patent a theory, or copyright it, or protect it in any way. I've documented everything, but... It may seem like I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself, but I think I'm just being prudent and cautious. I've done all the math and such, I'm just taking the next logical step... Anyone have any suggestions?
