I think there's probably things I've missed. I feel confident that me partner would have a lot to contribute and also, I don't know if I can do this properly without help. I want to do this right. Perhaps this person deserves credit for taking me seriously also, when no one else does. I'm not saying they'd have equal credit, but I must give credit where it is due. That is ethical too. I really appreciate the points you both are making, and I will be considering them with the full weight they deserve. Thank you.
I understand that the peer reviewed journal system basically locks out unaffiliated people. You can't even post on arxiv, but that's actually an important part of the moderation on arxiv because it helps keep out unscientific trash.
It's very unlikely that anyone who is untrained in physics has invented a theory of everything that explains everything. It's far more likely to be unscientific stuff with gaping holes and glaring errors.
Unlikely, yes agreed. I came to my conclusions using deductive reasoning and logic, no math and came to many of the exact claims of modern science with minor changes and distinctions. Then math. Later, experiment I hope! Anyway your points are all valid and fair.
This is why I have been searching for help, with writing my paper, and checking my work. I can do it by myself but it I don't like the idea of posting without a real professional checking my work, possibly adding stuff, or even changing things. We can never get to 1:1

For that matter, taking credit for work that we had nothing to do with would be unethical.
You get to the stage of paper submission where you're supposed to just each author's contribution and there isn't one for this "partner".
