And how do you know this? Is it because someone said “this is true” and then someone else was then able to say “no it isn’t - and here’s the evidence”.

BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoThat’s the ideal the commentor is talking about, this isn’t reality. A significant number of peer reviewed papers are being published without replicable results or any hint of a falsifiable hypothesis.

Well, that’s kinda my point, a lot of modern theoretical physics doesn’t present a falsifiable hypothesis - it can’t be tested, there’s no proposal for how it could ever be tested.
In terms of evidence the unrepeatable results - some of it is being repeated and checked, a lot of it isnt. Predictions of how bad the problem is is derived statistically. So much so it’s considered a crisis in modern science.

No one is arguing that every scientist is ethical.
The issue is at its core one is about questioning and one isn’t.
