Comment on I have attempted science.

Gotcha.
I thought that was the norm in all academia these days? Can a physicist (or anyone from another field) publish results that didn’t go as expected and save future scientists some time?

I know a good bit of micro biology, psychology, and medical trial fields can. But thats about the limit of my “other fields” knowledge.
