First, the paper has gone through peer review and no problem with it has been reported except that
it does not confirm the expansion nor propose any new physics (obviously) so the editors (Phys. Rev. Lett.) decided not to publish it, as
not interesting to their readers and to save the valuable journal space. So even if it is fraudulent neither me nor any referee (there was total of 6 referees and editors involved) noticed that.
Second, I wrote the paper with intention that it could be understood by a high school student interested in physics (such as I was once). Too bad, and I wonder why, it was "way beyond [your] level of comprehension". If you tell me what was "beyond" I'll try to present it in a different way, possibly easier to understand. It is useless to write papers that no one undrstands and therefore can't evaluate.
