Isn't it a sign of system failure when a researcher has to beg and plead to get his results published and no one is interested in his publication until someone who understands the break through happens to stumble across it?
- ip26 6y agoMaybe? Sometimes a breakthrough isn't obvious, or can only be understood by a few people on the planet. The story of polar codes comes to mind. How is a journal committee to distinguish such papers from all the other junk?

- namelessone 6y agocan you share the story?
