Starting an article
 
Nobel prize winning ideas are not generally accepted by the community.  By definition, they are paradigm shifting, revolutionary.  Accordingly, many were first initially rejected by anonymous pre-publication peer review.

1. Nobel Prize Awarded for: Identification of the mechanism for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Rejection: Boyer had been greeted with disbelief when he theorized that the previously mysterious process is the work of a "beautiful little machine" that operates within enzymes on the molecular level. His proposed resolution of a major unsolved problem in biochemistry threatened to "change the paradigm," Boyer remembers, and "the leading journal" in his field -The Journal of Biological Chemistry-declined to publish his work.
