Suppose that while working on something mundane, you stumble upon something that is brilliant and could change a field, nay, the world if it indeed is what you think it is. Suppose also that this something is related to a field in which you have no clout and no formal training - a field in which contributions from perceived dilettantes are ignored with abandon. The question is twofold:
1)How do you share this information with the world, overcoming the perceived noise from people like you?
2)How do you protect this brilliant result from theft?
