No, it isn't. Relatively few of us have post-grad degrees. What we have is a (relatively) common interest in astronomy and science. Many BAUTers just like to look at the pretty pictures. Myself, pretty pictures of planets and moons.

We do, however, have some noted experts in their various fields. And if they say you've made a mistake, you might double (or triple-check) your math. I certainly would.

But in a more general sense:

If you have a question on some aspect of physics or science, BAUTers are generally quite willing to go over and above to help you figure it out so long as you're willing to listen to what folks are telling you.

If you've come with some claim, however, that goes against physics or some other facet of conventional understanding of reality, then you need to understand that while you're entitled to your own opinions, you are not entitled to your own facts. If you're wrong, someone will correct you. I would like to think most people would welcome such a correction. I certainly would.

And if you're right, great, but the only way to know for certain is to have your idea mauled and savaged. If it survives us, it might just be ready for peer review. If it survives that, then congrats, it is likely to be incorporated into the mainstream.

But either way, your idea (if that's your specific beef) won't be entitled to a free ride. Nobody's is.
