I fear that science is slowly going awry, particularly in fields where outcomes have grave and immediate implications for businesses. In this respect, physics is simpler than social science. Not getting the results you expect is fine and often teaches you something.
- grandmczeb 8y agoI don't think it's going awry but rather that certain fields have always been suspect and we're just now realizing how bad it is. In mathematics, there are proofs that have stood up for thousands of years; in physics there are models that have remained useful for hundreds. How many fields can claim that kind of longevity?
