I see the need for posting this thread to give a story behind what I've written in the other threads. Simply posting facts and figures do not seem enough to get people's attention and gain traction.
NOT VERY SMART? IT'S BETTER TO BE CONSERVATIVE! - Jordan Peterson w/ Sam Harris, Douglas Murray
Writing a forum post is not llikely to be a short-cut to getting something published in a recognised journal. As @alancalverd mentioned earlier, that's where you would want something to get to if you want to bring it to the attention of the wider scientific community.

I'll just let them to compete externally with everyone else's ideas. Science is not about competition, though there can be rewards for first publication or early exploitation of a discovery. Either your hypothesis stands up to experimental test and predicts something better than a previous hypothesis, or it doesn't. That's the competition. Like it or not, our ideas compete for memory space in people's minds, as well as data centers.

Being viral in social media is an effective way to get the attention of the wider scientific community.

I have seen nothing in your elegant diffraction experiments that disagrees with my textbooks. But they are mostly 60 years old.

Of course, because they don't mention following results:

Healthy competitions can be useful to improve ourselves, as well as our ideas. They can also increase our confidence, especially if we win at least some of them.
Show me Huygens' construction in a non-diffractive edge
