Someone please start up a peer reviewed Journal of We Were So Wrong In Science (abbreviation: J. Wrong) so people can publish their work when it doesn't pan out. Preferably in multiple fields.
Because when the hypothesis is wrong we learn things and they're important like how the shit doesn't work.
Imagine a whole family of journals called We Were So Wrong In: Field and then the much anticipated We Were So Wrong In Science Annual which collects and reprints the best failures of the year with updates on where those failures led.
Wrongest team to lead to a discovery of gets the Innovators In Trying Again When You're Wrong Award which comes with a hilarious trophy inspired by the Nailed It! trophy and a nice piece of funding.
So anyway that's another one of my "I just won the billion dollar Powerball" projects.
I would like this and also unlimited funds for attempting to replicate other people's research (the more boring, the better). Journal of Are You Sure.
If I ever win the billion dollar powerball I will ALSO fund the Journal Of Are You Sure About: Field? and the Journal Of Are You Sure About That? Annual (abbreviation: J. U. Sure?)
