This should lead to a new golden age. The late 1800’s also had so much going on nobody could keep up.
Wow. That can’t be a real Daily Mail headline! It actually fits into the topic field without requiring truncation!
More studies because there are now two branches of science ... real science, where theories are never settled, and government/research grant science, where science is dogma, and anyone not conforming in total to the dogma is a heretic.
This is one paper and it could be outlier, I’ll believe it when there are 50, 100 maybe even a 1,000 coming to this same conclusion. A dozen papers could out next week saying there aren’t enough studies.
One thing scientists have really fallen down on lately is to verify other’s work. One pharmaceutical company found 40% of the medical studies it tried to verify could not be duplicated. We should focus more on that and eliminating the junk. Maybe graduate students can take existing papers in their own fields and work to replicate them.
Science is no longer science. “Scientists” are political retards in search of government grants who will “prove” anything you want them to”prove” for the right price.
There are too many studies because science is in decay.
It is good that there are so many studies. Even in earlier times there were all kinds of studies that turned out to be just wrong if not simply made up. The idea of scientific consensus for consensus sake is idiotic. Science should never be about simply achieving consensus it should be about discovering demonstrable facts not just making up science fiction stories based on little or no hard data or evidence. We have an awful not of story telling substituting for hard science and while I love a good story when they show me a 20 million year old fossilized toe bone and nothing more then go on to claim it represents yet another ancestor of man I think any reasonable person has a responsibility to be skeptical. It sure would be great for scientists if the layman masses would just accept whatever science fiction fantasy put in front them and let politicians authorize spending trillions to fight climate change but it wouldn’t be science it would be a farce.
Today we are surrounded by farce. We have social scientists just totally lying saying that kids don’t do better in complete families with a Mom and Dad even though the consensus of evidence shows the opposite but of course that is a consensus they don’t like and the media doesn’t like. We had for years a clear consensus on sexual deviance but again it was something not liked and as leftists have migrated up the hierarchies of power they have managed to take control of messaging and studies and even though the evidence really hasn’t changed substantially especially when you get beyond the studies conducted by the deviants themselves the propaganda is now sold 24x7 as the truth which it is not.
Science these days is not, in general.
They can’t do away with all of these studies because there would not be many jobs for college graduates once they graduated, or worse yet....doctorate degrees in “studies” for professional liberal studies.
Worse yet, today’s colleges would be decimated by having to really perform factual studies of things that really matter.
I call those involved in “heavy thinking” studies of contorted liberal or worthless studies professional students for they are permanent leaches on the teats of government that grants funds for their permanent “studies.”
Make them really do something that matters....like real work that matters.
Studies don't make science, verifiable experiments and discovery do.
