About publishing |
Can someone tell me where I can publish my views ideas and new theories on
Physics,Cosmos and matter/energy in an authentic way so as not to lose
ownership of the theories?.
Also, are there Research Assignments which can be taken up and how can these
be easily contracted?

What you may have viewed or theorized, if meaningful,
will have nothing to do with you. Why would one want
"ownership" of them? Hehe :) You want "ownership" go to
chemistry forums. They seem to be more willing to sell
something than discuss them.
Last time I saw dudes selling "physics facts" was in
first year graduate physics in U.S. universities,
trying to make money selling lists of solutions/answers
to hard-to-find collections of past exams. Some
instructors out of shear laziness tended to draw from
the same pool for their upcoming administration of
tests. This species of "owners" fast disappeared, after
the first year, into computer jobs markets, while in
contrast those in chemistry departments did it all the
time, even after they finished their PhD's. Our Uncle
Al is still going around selling his "Organic Chemistry
in 24 Hours" deal.
You seem to be at best of that type. Get yourself out.

Ownership? Publication in pretty much any form will give you priority, but
that isn't ownership. The whole point of publication is to _share_ the
theories - anti-ownership!

Thanks for succinct comment : I am generally an open person always willing
to throw my views and ideas in public and share them. Good point

Physical Review, Foundations of Physics, Gravitation and General
Relativity, and other professional journals are the usual way to
communicate advances in science. Some of those journals charge a fee to
publish in them (they're certainly not going to pay you), which is
usually paid by the institute that you work for. They might waive that
fee for individual contributors. Their policy is stated in the first
few pages of an issue. You could try the arXives, but I think you need
an academic sponsor for that.
As for ownership, forget it. The moment a theory is public, you lose
all control over what anyone does with it. A theory can't be
copyrighted, only the expression of it can be. A theory can't be
patented. People will do what they want with the theory and there's
nothing you can do about it except to become just another voice in the
crowd.
Also, are there Research Assignments which can be taken up and how can these
be easily contracted?
You can always work pro bono in your free time. You won't get paid for
it without credentials or a demonstration of relevant skills and
experience. And even then it can be hard-- more people want to do
physics than there are jobs for it.
