A common thread with junk science is getting the public involved in the “peer review” process.
Well that was a lovely non-sequitur. Her Kickstarter has nothing to do with peer review.
Besides, the peer review process is broken, likely irredeemably. The Journal system made sense when production and distribution costs were high, and makes no sense at all in the age of the internet. Why not put it out there for all to see and criticize?
(It is, after all, the reason that there is an internet in the first place.)
Good for her. I just wish she would come out with a text book or video study guide for the smart high school kids that are interested in a career in physics. They wouldn’t get this knowledge in school. Between the politics, and ideological inertia of the established physics community, her ideas will probably not get accepted anytime soon. But her ideas and equations are so simple she could plant them into the minds of the young before they are indoctrinated… the truth can still grow.

Why wait until high school?
