Publications, funding and status are the goals, not validity. Science became theology and metaphysics - joggling with fancy concepts and theories, producing chimeras from "advanced statistics" and probabilistic models, etc. The main assumption is that no one would even try to validate or reproduce the results, because they are too messy and too costly (labor-intensive).
"Scientist" and "researches" do not even realize that things like "dimensions" are mere concepts and does not exist in reality. Most of "scientists" could not tell an abstract concept from an existent phenomena. Most of them cannot explain the Correlation Is Not Causation principle. They believe that time really exist and could be slowed down or accelerated. Or it could be part of a crystal.)
The "studies" contains naive logical flaws, non-validated references, use of statistical inferences as logical inferences, use of statistics to establish causality and even Excel errors (unwanted auto-correction, rounding etc.)
This is only the tip of the iceberg - there will be turtles^W unreplicable metaphysics-like crap all the way down.
