AI Thread Summary
Choosing specific cosmologists or astrophysicists to review a manuscript is not within the author's control, as journal editors make that decision based on qualifications and relevance to the field. The selection of reviewers depends on the specific area of research, and authors are encouraged to stay informed about the literature to identify leading experts. The discussion highlights the importance of mutual engagement in the academic community; if an author is not familiar with a reviewer's work, it raises questions about the author's own research credibility and the rationale for seeking their review.

Furthermore, if you were following the literature, you would know who is best qualified by the papers they publish. Why should a cosmologist spend his time reviewing your paper? If you aren't going to read his papers, why should he read yours?

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
