Should I submit an outlandish physics idea that feels right?

[Ahmed1029]

I'm curious to get people's opinions about whether this is interesting enough to write up for submission.

I arrived at a set of coordinate transformations that are different from the Lorentz transformations, but which produce a coherent mechanical framework. It gives a very beautiful physical picture, reduces to Newtonian mechanics at low velocities and is compatible with the postulates of SR, yet predicts phenomena that should be measurable at high enough velocities and that have never been proposed before.

I have all the necessary equations, yet I'm not sure if this can be published since the theory is based on an unsupported bold guess that seems to be right, and I'm not sure if it solves any current problem in theoretical physics. Should I submit an article?

Depends. Are you prepared to defend it against harsh criticism? Worse, are you prepared to have it ignored and not taken seriously?

Sure. I've been really looking to find something new about physics for a while now, but every idea I got was trivially wrong or inconsistent. This one I think is either true or too heavy for me to falsify. I'm generally however not afraid from embarrassment.

To clarify, I'm not saying those things will happen, simply that you should be prepared.

As you know from your previous warnings, PF is not the place to try to discuss new personal theories. Thread will remain closed, and you should be sure to read through this Insights article: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/wont-look-new-theory/
