ABSTRACT The Correas submitted to five different "prestigious" physics journals a communication presenting a critically novel understanding of the mass-energy of the electron and its nonrelativistic coupling to kinetic energy, along with a different model of its cosmological creation that connects the production of the cosmic heat bath to the emission of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic ray primaries. Not a single submittal received a peer-review, the communication being dismissed offhand with no legitimate explanations. The result conforms to the notion that at present only reports which appear to extend or rehabilitate existing physics models (like the Standard Model) are considered to be deserving of institutional publication, excluding thereby any reports that question those models - or worse, that propose a new and possibly better one. Peer-review is a failed social experiment. It should no longer be trusted as a screening of what is, or is not, science.
