General Relativity is a Model of Everything that is different than the Standard Model in this: General Relativity is a theoretical approach to physics where gravity is the star of the show and everything else is acting as a backup singer, while the Standard Model is an approach the allows the other 3 non-gravitational forces to shine (photons, gluons, intermediate vector-bosons).

Peer review is not peer review. Real peer review is what happens after you've passed the bullshit thing called peer review; what happens before that is an injunction by a small group of people to keep the world from learning about your work.

Peer review is a cancer from outer space. It came from the biomedical community. It invaded science.
