Кроме того, написал ей такое письмо:
Dear Professor Silvestri,
Thank you for the info about your decision on my paper. Of course I believe that the decision is not fair. Please find my appeal attached. I think that the main problem is not that Reviewer 3 understands nothing in my paper and obviously cannot refute my derivations. Everybody knows something and does not know something, and it is impossible to know everything. In my opinion, if a scientist is proposed to review a paper which he/she does not understand then he/she should either decline from being a reviewer or say that different approaches have a right to exist. However, Reviewer 3 believes that only papers done in the spirit of his/her mentality can be published and all other papers should be prohibited such that the readers even should not know about their existence. Reviewer 3 does not understand that it is disgraceful to make negative statements without any substantiation. As explained in the appeal, I believe that my results will be extremely interesting for the readers of Physics of the Dark Universe, and my paper is fully in the scope of the journal. However, if your final decision is that my paper cannot be published in the usual way, I would be grateful if you consider the following possibility. My paper is published but along with the paper you or any reviewer writes a paper or comments explaining why my approach is unacceptable. In particular, the report of Reviewer 3 can be published. I believe this will be extremely important for the readers because they will be given an opportunity to make a judgment and will understand pros and cons of different approaches. Maybe my understanding of Reviewer 3’s intentions is not correct and he/she will appreciate the opportunity to express his/her opinion.
Но сразу получил такой ответ:
Dear Dr. Lev,
I understand your disappointment, every decision if of course questionable, but our decision is final.
Kind regards,
Т.е., она даже не хочет играть в игру, что, якобы, она честно пытается разобраться. Она начальник группы, которая пишет, якобы, высоконаучные статьи по dark energy. В этих статьях никакой квантовой теории нет и в помине, все основано на классической ОТО, статьи печатает Phys. Rev. и другие журналы, так что видимость большой науки соблюдается.
Все это заняло три месяца и теперь ясно, что с самого начала она искала только повод, чтобы отфутболить. После этого я написал главному редактору журнала:
