    Not really. Psychology has a massive reproducibility issue right now.

      You’re right, all other fields have been completely unaffected!

        Psychology stands out with how many results are not reproducible.

          While in physics, we can fundamentally change our theoretical understanding of very core concepts without impacting the reproducibility of experiments, and any new theory must also satisfy existing, reproducible experiments.

          Same goes for chemistry, computer science, geology, etc. You can discover differences in core, fundamental concepts without invalidating existing experiments.
