Nothing would benefit the scientific enterprise more than explicitly publishing papers about failed experiments.
How much public money, time, and careers have been wasted chasing something that is already known not to work?
- vacuity 3y agoUnfortunately, careers don't get advanced that way. There are very backwards incentives.
