Physics is Stalled by Politics - Paper with solutions to 64 significant problems published in #3 journal but rejected by arXiv.org. The new paper entitled, Measurement Quantization, published Jan. 25, 2023 in the Intl. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys., Article Measurement Quantization
lays out the foundations of quantum behavior using existing classical expressions, expanded to account for the discrete internal frame of the universe. The paper presents predictions of a length contraction effect unrelated to that described by Einstein and then presents measurement data to support the approach. It then derives the physical constants and the laws of nature from first principles. It unifies gravity with electromagnetism and writes both SR and GR anew from first principles, therein leading to a derivation of the equivalence principle. It presents simple classical solutions to dark energy, dark matter and a no free parameter description of early universe events. But we should restate, this paper is classical mechanics, offering 530 equations describing phenomena across the entire measurement domain. While extensive support is offered, additional support rests on a long history of support for classical mechanics. In regards to posts regarding the heated debate about the absurdity of new research being filtered, I agree! Even though this paper is published in the #3 mathematical physics journal in the world (by SJR ranking) and is indexed to NASA’s ADS, it was rejected by arXiv.org. I then sought the assistance of a top five ranked astrophysicist in the world. The case was reopened, reconsidered and then rejected a second time, as though classical mechanics was of questionable scientific merit. The point is, classical mechanics is worthy of arXiv.org. We must conclude that the paper was rejected because of a higher cultural mandate, that breakthroughs that impact the existing funding model cannot appear as though they enjoy support by the community. For insight, see this post by Avi Loeb: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/how-to-navigate-academia-6e8c4feea460 I will state, this paper presents solutions to 82.5% of all outstanding problems in cosmology among many other classical and quantum problems. If community leaders really want to effect change, they would use well-vetted publications as example of this cultural absurdity and the need for change. And the best way to affect that change is to begin by supporting breakthroughs in existing classical mechanics on their blogs, in videos, in presentations and at conferences. Community leaders should not be posting literature as unanswered (i.e., dark matter, dark energy) where existing classical mechanics offers insight with straight-forward calculations. Otherwise, such individuals mimic the same cultural bias they are arguing against.
It is essential for community leaders to recognize and address these issues by actively supporting breakthroughs in classical mechanics and other fields. This support can be demonstrated through various platforms, including blogs, videos, presentations, and conferences. By acknowledging the value of new research and encouraging open-mindedness, community leaders can help foster an environment that welcomes diverse perspectives and drives scientific progress.
To truly effect change, community leaders must also be willing to question established beliefs and paradigms, including those related to dark matter and dark energy. By remaining open to alternative explanations and solutions, they can help ensure that innovative ideas are not prematurely dismissed or overlooked. In doing so, they can pave the way for a more inclusive and dynamic scientific community that is better equipped to tackle the challenges of modern physics.

I suppose general support is always welcome, say when giving scholarships
or prizes.
Direct influence is highly improbable, every one attend their own experties.
Academic communities are very clear about this. They usuall organize their own meetigs, perhaps inviting some governor or other figure to attend the inauguration, if its a large meeting.
Neither would they get very far using Classical quantities to sell things like quantum mecanics. Most Journals are highly specific of what subject matter they will deal with. The content could be impecable, but they will reject for other reasons. So supporting some particular publication is high risk for public figures.
If stuff in an article does not have empirical backing, it more speculative.
Like the topic of dark matter, not found yet directly.
Some particular Journals are more tolerant there than others, but dont
expect high consideration from highly selective ones like Nature.
However arxiv is one of the easiest places. Physical Review is one of the more recognized places for Physics, a given article could take a year of diligent research.
You cannot pretend generalized democracy in closed Academic circles.
It does not work like that.The scolarship givers and prize givers have their
consulatation boards for recomedations. High level science is very competative.
Community leaders can certainly raise awareness and advocate for change in the physics community. However, the extent to which they can affect change in the field of physics may depend on a variety of factors, including the nature of the proposed changes, the receptiveness of the scientific community to those changes, and the political and funding climate surrounding scientific research.
For example, community leaders who argue for increased diversity and inclusivity in the physics community may be able to influence hiring practices, conference and workshop organization, and funding allocation to support underrepresented groups in the field. However, changes to the scientific content or methodology of physics research may require a more sustained effort involving experts in the field, policy makers, and funding agencies.
Moreover, the process of scientific discovery and advancement is inherently collaborative and involves the evaluation of new ideas and evidence through rigorous peer review. While community leaders may be able to raise awareness of new ideas and perspectives, ultimately it is the scientific community as a whole that determines which ideas are supported by evidence and merit further exploration.
In summary, community leaders can play an important role in advocating for change in the physics community, but the extent to which they can affect change depends on a complex set of factors and the involvement of the broader scientific community in evaluating and implementing new ideas.
