Are physics “new findings“ disappearing the way that the “new findings“ in psychology disappear? In the past few decades, psychology has become famous for having “new findings“ that seem to disappear once people start doing repeated testing. Is that where physics is today? Are the “new findings“ in physics that are published hailed as groundbreaking and debated disappearing as soon as people try and repeat the experiments? Are physicists going mad? Will they need to consult psychologists???

@llo5000 I would say "Of course, you are right!" but that would be kinda hollow since my saying that was obviously pre-determined from the moment of my birth!

@SabineHossenfelder Thank you - a much better reply than I really deserve. However, if you equate "string theories" and "supersymmetry theories" with psychology studies and equate "not thought through sufficiently" with "not subjected to sufficiently rigorous statistical analysis", the (super) symmetry between the two fields might be somewhat closer than I would like to see.
