Suppose you had a topic that was the result of years of research. Suppose that the topic was of great importance in terms of technology and the economy. However, people who have deep religious beliefs are going to hate it as will people who have beliefs in the supernatural. There are prominent people from universities as well as others who are internationally known who have signed an open letter against this general topic although they are not aware of your specific work.
This area devoured entire generations of very smart people and billions in research so trying to explain why it didn't devour you is pointless; anything you say sounds arrogant. To present your information, you will have to refute not only the open letter but pretty much every existing theory on this topic.
If you suggest that you've made progress where no one else has, you are immediately accused of being crazy, suffering from a Dunning-Kruger delusion, or trolling for attention. You can nail down all of the technical details. But, when you try to talk about the topic itself, words don't seem to work as well because anything you say sounds exaggerated.
Yet, it could realistically be the greatest leap in technology in human history and at any rate it is likely to be the most rapid technological change. It could boost the economy in the US alone by perhaps $6 trillion per year. History doesn't seem to have any answers; apparently no one has ever been in quite this situation before.
