Scenarios about 'scientific reform'
Scientific reform refers to significant restructuring of scientific methodology, institutions, or paradigms that fundamentally alter how research is conducted, evaluated, and applied. These transformations often emerge in response to crises of replication, ethical concerns, or technological disruptions that challenge established practices. In alternate history scenarios, scientific reform can represent pivotal divergence points where different approaches to knowledge production lead to radically altered technological trajectories and societal developments.
