According to physicists, it will be a long time before gravitons are considered part of the established subatomic pantheon.

In a computer simulation, lab groups received greater rewards for publishing findings deemed ‘novel.' Over time, effort decreased and the rate of false discoveries rose. If we want to ensure the credibility and integrity of scientific research and study, institutions must focus on science that is meaningful and reproducible.
