In AWT this phenomena can be of real emergent nature and it manifests itself with switching of intersubjectively accepted opinion into dual perspective, whenever the density of facts increases up to certain level. It's analogous to dispersive spreading of waves at the water surface, which is switching its character with distance from longitudinal into transverse waves and back into longitudinal waves again. It corresponds the layered fractally nested character of Universe and observable reality.
For example, from terrestrial perspective the epicycle model of solar system appears relevant. With increasing scope this model has been replaced with heliocentric model but now the evolution of galactic arms can be described with epicycle model again. It's just the number of observable objects, which makes epicycle or heliocentric model more relevant.
After all, the acceptation/refusal of aether model is of the same emergent evolution. Before some time old Greeks believed in Aether, later (Newton) this concept has been replaced with concept of absolute space. In 19th century the aether based models were quite popular again, but they're were replaced later with relativity model of space-time. Now the aether model is returning into physics again with model of Higgs field, which is responsible for particle mass.
The emergent character of observable reality can be understood by example of compression of gas, which is changing into fluid or even solid during this. The density fluctuations of newly formed phase are behaving like another generation of gas particles and when the compression continues, they're condensing and changing into nested fluid phase and solid again. The newly formed phase is embedded into previous generation of matter and this process can be repeated many times.
I presume, the same evolution occurs during pilling and condensation of facts into theories in hyperdimensional causal space. I Czech we have a proverb: "Stokrát nic umořilo osla" which roughly means "A hundred times nothing killed the donkey". The meaning of this proverb is, even the smallest chores are tiresome (if there is too many).

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 264 of 264What's wrong with modern physics—and could alternative theories explain our observations of the universe? Sir Roger Penrose calls string theory a "fashion," quantum mechanics "faith," and cosmic inflation a "fantasy." Penrose is a well-respected physicist who co-authored a seminal paper on black holes with Stephen Hawking.

Removing the documentation of the null results lends itself to people recreating the same flawed wheels over and over? That seems like something that should have been solved a long time ago as a common sense problem.
An extensive review of the literature on peer review in 1998 identified problems. They found that there is a low level of reliability and agreement over the quality of submitted papers, largely because of a lack of objective evaluation criteria. Even worse, reviewers make mistake in their evaluation and often accept papers they should have rejected. As a direct consequence, established journals are usually biased against innovative work. Some have claimed the peer-review system means academic work can simply end up losing its integrity during the review process, and can result in trivial and boring research. On a more positive note, when reviews are perceived of quality by authors, they tend to generate more citations, which is a measure of the number of times a research paper is mentioned in other journals and is considered a mark of quality. Also, reliability is not necessary for an efficient review process – often it is the process of peer review itself that contributes to improving the paper. Reviewers play a developmental role in the construction of knowledge, and the energy they deploy in this process is primarily driven by moral motives rather than any material interest.
Pseudophysics: The New High Priesthood The situation, when the mainstream physics is pushing unverified ideas for years (strings, SUSY, WIMPs or multiverse) is the consequence of the fact, it's increasingly difficult and expensive to verify existing hypothesis. On the other hand, the findings which don't play with mainstream paradigm well (cold fusion, scalar waves, magnetic motors and another overunity devices, etc.) are ignored for years as well.
This both illustrates the contemporary situation, in which the physical reality is formulated with beliefs in theory, not with experimental facts. This belief is occupation driven: the route which provides more grants and job for physicists is always proffered, the ideas and findings which threatens their existence are ignored if not denied.
The ignorance manifests always in two dual ways: with noncritical ignorance and skepticism of ideas and findings which don't play well with mainstream opinion and with uncritical promotion and support of these intersubjectivelly accepted ones. It turns out astronomers are susceptible to prejudice, bias and wrong-thinking, just like everybody else (this is a writeup about recent study: "On the Benefits of Promoting Diversity of Ideas". Of course, this article is still very tame as it points only to marginal examples: the biggest blunders of contemporary astronomy (Big Bang and inflationary hypothesis) are still waiting for their recognition.

Do we write too many papers?
Yes, [we must stop the avalanche of low quality research](http://chronicle.com/article/We-Must-Stop-the-Avalanche-of/65890/), [Half of academic studies are never read more than three people](http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/half-academic-studies-are-never-read-more-three-people-180950222/), [why we have so much Duh science](http://beta.slashdot.org/story/152628)?
Nope, [only 1% of scientists manages to write more than one article per year](http://news.sciencemag.org/scientific-community/2014/07/1-scientific-publishing).
So where the problem is? In overemployment of scientists - we have too many of them, given the scope of contemporary research, the utilization of which advances the capabilities of human society by many years. Ironically enough, just the areas of research which are most important with respect of future progress today are most ignored with physicists and effectively maintained with amateurs only (cold fusion, magnetic motors, scalar wave research, etc.). For physicists it's apparently much more acceptable to observe, how the various nations are fighting for residuals of oil than to deal with research, which seemingly contradicts their pet theories.

Research is a huge enterprise now; it attracts riff-raff, who never would have survived as scientists in the 1960s and 1970s. There is no doubt that highly capable scientists currently participate in the grant-review process. Likewise, unfortunately, study sections are undoubtedly contaminated by riff-raff.

Safety, life-saving efficacy of statins have been exaggerated, says scientist Statins produce a dramatic reduction in cholesterol levels, but have failed to substantially improve cardiovascular outcomes, they add, stating that 'statistical deception' has been used to inflate claims about their effectiveness, which has shown that statins benefit only about 1% of the population. This means that only one out of 100 people treated with a statin will have one less heart attack. Statin researchers, however, don't present the 1% effect to the public. Instead they transform the 1% effect using another statistic, called the "relative risk," which creates the appearance that statins benefit 30-50% of the population.The authors emphasized that low cholesterol levels related to statin use have frequently been associated with an increased risk of cancer..

In the article "What is wrong with modern science?" Ilja Schmelzer analyzes the situation in fundamental physics – the dominance of string theory criticized by Woit as "not even wrong" – from an economic point of view: The actual economic organization of state science forces scientists to follow the mainstream, even if it is only a purely speculative proposal. Thus, this organization poses a serious danger for freedom of science.

My name is Dr. Mike McCulloch, and I am a Professor of napkin physics, a little known field of cutting edge scientific research, which has recently started enjoying unprecedented and rapidly accelerating growth. And I mean: rapidly accelerating. What we are talking here is acceleration on the order of magnitude of 10 to the power of 20 meters per second square, i.e. 10,000 trillion kilometers per second square. For the first time in the history of modern science, napkin physics has successfully combined Einstein’s relativity with quantum mechanics, and not only theoretically, but most of all experimentally:
